This elegant antique porcelain compote bowl features a finely hand-painted floral and botanical design with strong Chinoiserie influence, dating to the late 19th to early 20th century (circa 1880–1910). The composition centers on a flowering branch rendered in rich jewel tones, accented with deep cobalt blue and delicate hand-applied gold detailing.
The shallow pedestal form is enhanced by integrated side handles and layered decorative borders, including diaper-pattern banding and cartouche motifs—details characteristic of high-quality European porcelain of the Victorian and turn-of-the-century period. The painting shows visible brushwork and subtle variation consistent with hand decoration rather than transfer ware.
This is a refined decorative piece well-suited for display as a centerpiece, console accent, or curated shelf object, and it complements Hollywood Regency, traditional, and eclectic interiors beautifully.
