Hand-Painted Ceramic Scallion/Spring Onion Serving Bowl

This is a hand-painted ceramic serving bowl, likely used for salads or pasta. The bowl features a round, somewhat shallow form with flaring sides. The primary color of the outer rim is a warm, rustic orange or burnt sienna, with visible brushstrokes indicating a hand-painted finish. The center of the bowl is a clean, off-white cream color, delineated from the orange rim by a thin, irregular brown or dark orange line that also appears hand-applied. Adorning the orange rim are four distinct illustrations of scallions or spring onions, spaced equidistantly around the circumference. Each scallion is depicted with a white to light purple bulbous base and vibrant green stalks, also rendered with visible brushwork, adding to the hand-crafted aesthetic. The painting style is somewhat naive but charming, emphasizing the natural texture and imperfections of the ceramic and the produce it depicts. The glaze appears glossy over the painted surfaces. No obvious chips, cracks, or repairs are immediately visible from the provided image, suggesting good overall condition. The underside or reverse of the bowl is not visible, so manufacturer's marks or signatures cannot be discerned. Given the style, it likely dates to the late 20th or early 21st century, possibly a piece inspired by Italian or Mediterranean culinary themes. The craftsmanship suggests it is a studio pottery piece or from a small-scale manufacturer focused on decorative wares.
