Floral Porcelain Lidded Sugar Bowl

This item is a small, lidded sugar bowl crafted from what appears to be fine white porcelain, indicative of its delicate nature and typical use as part of a tea or coffee service. Its dimensions are consistent with individual or small-group serving, likely standing approximately 3-4 inches tall with the lid in place. The sugar bowl features a classic, somewhat bulbous body with a slightly scalloped or fluted base, adding a touch of elegance. It is adorned with a vibrant floral motif, primarily featuring pink roses, blue flowers resembling forget-me-nots, and smaller orange blossoms, interspersed with green leaves and stems. This detailed hand-painted or printed decoration suggests a traditional design aesthetic. The rim of the bowl, the handles, and the finial on the lid are accented with gold trim, enhancing its luxurious appearance. The handles are delicately curved, providing a small grip. The lid is domed with a pointed finial, also tipped with gold. The overall condition appears to be very good, with no visible chips, cracks, or significant wear to the decorations or gilding, suggesting it has been well-preserved or seen minimal use. The craftsmanship, particularly the precision of the floral designs and the fine details of the gold accents, indicates a piece of good quality, possibly from the mid-20th century or earlier, given the classic floral patterns often found on porcelain from that era. There are no discernible maker's marks visible in the image, which would typically be on the base.
