Floral Decorated Porcelain Sugar Bowl with Lid

This is a vintage porcelain sugar bowl with a lid, featuring a floral motif. The sugar bowl is of a typical two-handled design, with gracefully curved-loop handles. The primary color of the body is white, serving as a canvas for the vibrant floral decoration. The lid is domed with a small, loop-shaped finial for easy gripping. A notable feature of the lid is a gradient-like application of light green paint or glaze, which adds a subtle color contrast to the white porcelain. The body of the sugar bowl is adorned with a lush arrangement of colorful flowers, predominantly white daisies with yellow centers, intermingled with shades of pink, purple, and red blossoms, surrounded by green foliage. The artistic style suggests a hand-painted application, giving it a unique character. The overall shape of the bowl is somewhat bulbous with a gentle scalloped or fluted edge along the base, contributing to its decorative appeal. The visible condition appears to be good for an item of its age, with no obvious chips or cracks evident from the image, though minor surface wear or crazing typical of older porcelain might be present but is not discernible. The glazing appears intact and presents a gentle sheen. The item's likely origin is Germany, given the 'Germany 66' mark, suggesting it was manufactured around the mid-20th century, possibly 1966 or from a manufacturer with a specific '66' designation. The craftsmanship appears to be of decent quality, consistent with mass-produced decorative porcelain from that era, but still retaining artistic charm. The 'Germany 66' mark on the bottom would be crucial for precise identification of the manufacturer and exact manufacturing period.
