Known for its elaborate figural groups, reticulated designs, and exquisite handpainted work, the factory often drew inspiration from 18thcentury Rococo styles. Pieces like this centerpiece bowl, with its playful figural base and delicate floral details, were highly prized decorative items for the homes of the wealthy during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The \"1817\" mark on the bottom confirms its connection to this historic company.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOverall Height:\u003c\/b\u003e Approximately 13 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBowl Diameter:\u003c\/b\u003e Approximately 7 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Gifted UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52605186867547,"sku":null,"price":299.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0936\/4986\/3003\/files\/57_7644f79d-3610-4ea9-b105-8ca278d1c744.png?v=1773695604","url":"https:\/\/gifteduk.com\/products\/rare-13-antique-von-schierholz-porcelain-centerpiece-sculpture-bowl-see-pics","provider":"Gifted UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
