A genuine 1952 Portland Pottery serving bowl made in Cobridge, Staffordshire, England. The bowl features a warm autumn leaf and berry border in orange, brown, green and soft blue tones, giving it a classic mid-century English tableware look.

Condition

Vintage condition with significant age-related crazing throughout the glaze.

There is also a visible crack extending from the rim, along with a small chip/loss at the rim where the crack begins. Additional staining, scratches and general age wear are present.

Because of the crack, I would market this primarily as a decorative/display collectible rather than everyday serving ware. The damage is clearly shown in the photos and should be considered when purchasing.
