Set Of Bowls Appraisal

Set of Two Made in Portugal Ceramic Bowls

This lot consists of two matching ceramic bowls, described as 'Made in Portugal bowls.' Each bowl is shallow, featuring a rounded base that tapers slightly outward to an approximately straight, though subtly flared, rim. The bowls are glazed in a uniform, light sage green or pale aqua color, giving them a soft and serene appearance. Both bowls exhibit a decorative embossed pattern encircling their exterior circumference, just below the rim. This pattern appears to be a repeating motif, possibly floral or a classic scrolled design, adding a tactile and visual interest to the otherwise smooth surfaces. The interior of the bowls is also glazed in the same color, appearing glossy and consistent. From the image, the bowls appear to be in good, used condition with no immediately apparent chips, cracks, or significant scuffs, though a more detailed inspection would be needed to confirm this. The glaze finish seems even, suggesting good craftsmanship. The presence of a ruler in the image indicates a moderate size, suitable for individual servings of soup, salad, or dessert bowls. The 'Made in Portugal' designation suggests a specific geographic origin known for quality ceramics. The style appears relatively timeless, likely from the latter half of the 20th century to contemporary production, fitting well into various kitchen or dining decor aesthetics. The overall impression is one of durable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing stoneware.
