Antique Victorian Lilac and Floral Large Sugar Bowl or Sweetie Dish

Antique Victorian large English china sugar bowl or sweetie dish.

The tablecloth pattern is reflected in the body of this gorgeous bowl - they are not marks on the china itself. The lilac rim is much paler than shown in these pictures - sometimes the colours are hard to capture.

On the inside there is a pale lilac border edged with gold gilding under the scalloped rim and a very pretty floral garland pattern.  On the outside there are little flower sprays linked by a gold line.

Wear to the gold gilded rim.

Such a pretty large sugar bowl which we would use to serve liquorice torpedos or cocoa powder covered truffles or even sugar with a mismatched vintage china tea set.

14cm wide x 8cm tall approx.

Back Stamp: Best English China.

Made before 1891 and in excellent condition.
