Set of Five Blue and White Porcelain Decorative Spheres

This set consists of five decorative porcelain spheres, commonly colloquially referred to as 'carpet balls' or 'float balls.' Each sphere is approximately 2 to 3 inches in diameter and constructed from glazed ceramic or porcelain. The set features a classic cobalt blue and white color palette, with each ball showcasing a distinct traditional motif. Patterns include varied floral designs such as stylized chrysanthemums, trailing vines with leaves, geometric lattice grids with quatrefoils, and dense stippled backgrounds with larger floral overlays. The glaze exhibits a high-gloss finish, reflecting light significantly, which indicates a modern production process or well-preserved vintage condition. While traditionally used as Victorian-era parlor games or fishing net floats, these specific examples appear to be late 20th-century to contemporary decorative objects intended for bowl fillers or centerpiece displays. The craftsmanship shows consistent transfers of the patterns, though slight misalignment in the print joins can be seen, which is typical for mass-produced ceramic decor. The overall condition appears excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or significant crazing, suggesting they have been used exclusively for aesthetic purposes. There are no visible maker's marks or stamps in the current view, which is common for such accessory items.
