Aynsley Orchard Ware Bowl — Fruit Pattern

England | c.1930s–1940s

A beautifully decorated Aynsley bone china bowl, featuring richly coloured orchard fruits including peaches, plums, and berries, set against a warm tonal ground.

The fruit decoration is finely shaded in the painterly style for which Aynsley is renowned, with subtle stippling and graduated colour giving the imagery real depth and warmth. Finished with a gilt rim, the form flares gently toward the lip, making it both decorative and functional.

The base bears the green Aynsley crown mark, with the company’s founding date 1775, and “Fine Bone China – England.”

🏛 Curatorial Note

Aynsley orchard and fruit wares were particularly popular during the interwar period, reflecting an English decorative tradition rooted in abundance, hospitality, and table display.

Bowls of this type were commonly used for desserts, nuts, or fruit, and today remain highly collectable for both traditional table settings and decorative display.
