Victorian Antique Copper Blue Leaf Lusterware Bowl

A charming 19th-century English copper-luster bowl featuring a cobalt-blue band hand-decorated with gilt foliate strokes. The interior and exterior retain the classic mirrorlike copper luster; proportion suggests a small waste/tea bowl from a cottage set. Lovely for display with Staffordshire, transferware, or farmhouse décor.
