Yellow Ceramic Scalloped Serving Bowl with Embossed Fruit Motif

This item is a medium-sized ceramic serving bowl finished in a vibrant, glossy mustard-yellow glaze. The bowl features a distinct scalloped or ruffled rim, adding a decorative fluid line to its silhouette. The most notable aesthetic feature is the high-relief embossed motif on the interior walls, depicting various fruits including what appear to be grapes, leaves, and possibly berries or citrus. This style of relief decoration is characteristic of mid-20th-century pottery, often associated with manufacturers like McCoy, Hull, or various Italian majolica producers. The material appears to be a heavy earthenware or stoneware, indicative of utilitarian kitchenware designed for durability. In terms of condition, the glaze retains a high sheen, though minor surface scratches and pinhead-sized glaze pops (factory defects) are visible upon close inspection. There are no large chips or structural cracks apparent in the primary photograph, suggesting the piece has been well-maintained. The underside is not visible to confirm a maker's mark, but the overall craftsmanship suggests a mass-produced but high-quality decorative piece from the 1950s to 1970s, intended to bring a pop of color to a domestic dining setting.
