Vintage Cobalt Blue Sponge-Decorated Stoneware Bowl with Attached Saucer

This item is a heavy-duty stoneware planter or mixing-style bowl featuring a classic cream-colored glaze with cobalt blue decorative elements. The piece measures approximately 6 to 8 inches in diameter and is constructed from thick, high-fire ceramic. It features a prominent rolled rim and a body that tapers down to an integral or matching attached saucer base, designed to catch water. The decoration consists of a cobalt blue sponged pattern encircling the upper rim and a hand-painted or stenciled swooping floral or scroll motif on the side, characteristic of 20th-century American country or primitive style pottery. The glaze appears semi-glossy with minor surface imperfections typical of mass-produced stoneware. Condition-wise, the piece shows some light surface wear and shelf grime, but no visible large cracks or major chips are apparent from the frontal view. A price tag is adhered to the side, indicating it is currently in a secondary market or thrift retail environment. The style is reminiscent of McCoy or Robinson Ransbottom pottery but lacks a visible maker's mark in this view to confirm a specific manufacturer.
