'A Christmas Carol' Centre Bowl by Meinhold Brothers, C.1890s

19th century
Description

An extraordinary large 19th century bowl depicting the characters of Charles Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol' by Meinhold Brothers, Schweinsburg, Germany. The press mark to the base dates the piece between 1889 and 1905.

The bowl is of flat square form with wide relief corners, each revealing an intricate face, namely Scrooge and the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future.

There are few small scuffs and one small chip to the glaze (please see photographs) but generally the bowl remains in an excellent condition. A great table centre piece, and a definite talking point!

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Late 19th-century Art Nouveau ceramics often feature organic, whiplash forms alongside stylised or grotesque facial motifs. Manufacturers incorporated vibrant iridescent glazes and fluid silhouettes inspired by natural themes and literary figures.

These pieces were typically cast in earthenware or porcelain before being finished with multi-coloured lead or tin glazes. High-gloss iridescent finishes were achieved through specialised glaze compositions fired at precise temperatures.

Authentic examples often display impressed maker marks or mould numbers on the underside. Additionally, genuine late 19th-century glazes exhibit natural crazing, minor firing irregularities, and authentic wear patterns on the resting base.

Display the piece as a standalone decorative accent on a dining table, console table, or sideboard to showcase its sculptured profile. Its lustre and iridescent tones pair well with dark timber surfaces or neutral minimalist settings.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, and hand-wash sparingly using lukewarm water and mild dish soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemical cleansers, abrasive sponges, and prolonged submersion in water to preserve the glaze.
