Additional Information

1. Design & Features
- The Evesham Gold rimmed soup bowl is a masterclass in English botanical illustration, inspired by the lush orchards of the Vale of Evesham.
- This specific "clean rim" version features a sophisticated layout where the vibrant lithographs—showing a purple plum, a sun-ripened peach, and a pair of golden pears—are neatly contained within the central well.
- This design creates a beautiful white space that frames the artwork, perfectly balanced by a hand-applied 22-carat gold gilded rim.

2. Craftsmanship
- Produced in England, this bowl is crafted from high-quality Fine Bone Porcelain, known for its brilliant white finish and remarkable durability.
- The intricate fruit transfers are applied with precision to ensure the colours remain vivid and true to life.

3. Uses & Versatility
- Pasta & Risotto: The shallow depth and wide rim are perfect for framing a mound of linguine or a creamy risotto.
- Winter Stews: It is ideal for hearty, warming dishes.
- Salads: The broad white rim elevates a simple green salad, making the fresh ingredients pop against the porcelain.
- Display: When not in use, it serves as a stunning decorative object for an open kitchen shelf or a hutch.

4. Care Instructions
To preserve the integrity of the vintage porcelain and the brilliance of the gold work, please follow these guidelines:
- Hand Wash Only: To protect the delicate 22-carat gold gilding from the abrasive nature of dishwasher detergents, hand washing is essential.
- No Microwave: Because of the real gold content in the rim, this bowl must never be used in a microwave.
- Thermal Care: Avoid extreme temperature shocks.
