Collingwood, England, Early 1900s, Hand-painted, Gilt, Powder Blue Sugar Bowl with Enamel Double Butterfly Decoration This sugar bowl is from **Collingwood**, a porcelain manufacturer in England from the late 19th century to around 1948. It is believed to be a piece from the early 1900s, and is a very elaborate piece. The elegant appearance created by the cobalt and gilt, along with the plump double butterfly design in vibrant red and turquoise enamel, adds a touch of subtle cuteness. It is an item that will brighten up any space just by displaying it in a cabinet. The pale, soft blue glaze, known as powder blue, is a decoration born from the longing for the "noble blue" symbolized by lapis lazuli, and was created using a sophisticated technique using finely crushed cobalt pigments, used in high-quality porcelain. This piece features powder blue and gilt that stand out against the white porcelain, and the double butterfly design in enamel, which tells of the high level of skill at the time, meticulously finished in every detail. The symmetrical butterfly design is also known as a lucky motif symbolizing harmony and happiness, and it reflects the influence of the then-popular Orientalism (Chinoiserie). Each time it catches the light, the depth of the cobalt blue, the gilt, and the brilliance of the enamel gently emerge, making it a piece suitable for both practical use and for enjoying in a cabinet. Collingwood has a small distribution volume, and opportunities to see it on the market are limited nowadays, making it one of the valuable British porcelain items as a collection item. Collingwood Brothers was founded in Longton, Staffordshire in 1887. A famous pottery that lasted until 1948. The operating period was short, and it was always hand-painted. It can be said that it disappeared without riding the wave of mass production of transfer printing. We recommend it for practical use as well as a cabinet item. Size (approx.) Diameter: 8.7cm Height: 5cm As it is an antique/vintage item, there are minor scratches and small marks due to storage and aging, but there is no significant damage, and it is in good condition overall. *Please check the images for details.
