Vintage ARS Deruta Freeform Bowl Hobnail with Bright Flowers and Gold Trim

$ 57.60

Vintage, probably mid-century, 1950s-1960s or so, ARS Deruta bowl. It is freeform in shape, bumpy/hobnail and has red, pink, turquoise, green, and yellow daisy-like flowers scattered throughout on the inside and outside. The edge is trimmed in gold and the handles are gold painted ribbons or loops. The gold has very little wear. The bowl is 8-1/2″ long, 6-1/4″ wide, and the height ranges from 1-1/4″ – 3-1/2″. I find no aftermarket flaws, however there are a couple of manufacturing imperfections. A tiny spot near the foot that did not get the outer, white clay and one flower that didn’t get painted correctly. Some of the other flowers have small bits of white showing as well. There is also one small spot near the rim between two of the bumps (not specifically pictured) that looks like it didn’t get the white paint, but did get glazed. The bottom is marked: ARS ARTIGIANA DERUTA MADE-IN-ITALY
