Home Decor Bowl Appraisal

Charter Club Home Wild Flowers Pink Bowl

This item is a decorative ceramic bowl, likely intended for serving. Its primary color scheme features a vibrant pink exterior, fading into a lighter, almost white tone towards the rim of the base, and accented with a distinct green trim along the base's edge and green foliage-like detailing extending outwards from the bottom. The bowl appears to be shaped like a large flower, with undulating edges forming petals, giving it a natural, organic aesthetic. The construction is ceramic or stoneware, evident from its glossy, smooth finish and substantial feel. On the underside, a circular base is visible, which is white with a green rim. A partial paper label or sticker is still present, covering some of the printed manufacturer's mark. The legible portion of the mark indicates 'CHARTER CLUB® HOME WILD FLOWERS' and 'MADE IN CHINA EXCLUSIVELY FOR BLOOMINGDALE'S INC. © 1998'. Further details state 'MICROWAVE OVEN' and 'DISHWASHER SAFE' followed by 'A MILD DETP.', likely an instruction for mild detergent. The item shows no obvious signs of chips, cracks, or significant wear, suggesting it is in good to excellent used condition, though the remnants of the sticker on the base are a minor blemish. The '© 1998' marking dates its manufacture to the late 20th century. The quality of the glaze and the detailed floral shaping suggest this is a mass-produced item designed for decorative and functional use, adhering to a cheerful, garden-inspired aesthetic popular in home goods during that era.
