I found these bowls on a shelf with assorted bits of modern Oriental ceramics. The condition is amazing, as there are only two very minor chips on the bottom rim of one of the bowls. I have another tin glazed Delftware earthenware bowl which dates from around 1820. Not sure if these are earlier or later. Still investigating. :-)))))
Thanks for stopping by!

They sure look like older pieces, very nice!
Bill, old they definitely are - just how old? Definitely hand made. It so nice to feel the ridges on the inside walls of these bowls and wonder who made them all those decades ago.
Agree, fantastic and old for me :-D
TREASURES !!!
Are the porcelain rather than tin-glazed pottery ?
Are they Chinese ???
Ken - they do seem to be thin tin glazed porcelain. I don't know for sure if they are Chinese (I'm lousy with that stuff, lol). I did find them among other newer Chinese/Japanee ceramics, most likely out of the same house.
Is there a taping of an episode of Tussen Kunst en Kitsch nearby ???
Keepers.
Dutch Delft was imitating this type of stuff.
Ken - there was, on November 7th in the Cube Museum in Kerkrade. I was there and was videoed as I came in. You might see me on TV in 6 months, unless I get edited out, lol!
I have to watch their programming schedule and see if they are coming somewhere in my neighborhood next year.
I thought this could be Dutch Delft, but it's not my area of "expertise".
Ken - it's definitely tin glazed. That's the only thing I know for sure, lol!
They are in too good a condition to be tin glazed. It chips like you wouldn't believe. I hope I see you in the Kerkrade episode. I love the show.
i was going to say what vetraio just said. when you hold them up to a strong light or the sun, can you see light throug them? that would mean that they are porcelain.
Looks like porcelain to me, possibly Portugal?
i would say Chinese porcelain.
