This striking vintage ceramic centerpiece by Jesco features a highly unique and organic form that bridges the gap between functional hollowware and tabletop sculpture. The bowl is characterized by its sweeping, asymmetrical rim and a textured body adorned with meticulously applied floral embellishments. The soft, neutral glaze allows the play of light and shadow across its undulating surfaces to take center stage, making it a versatile decorative element for a variety of interior styles. Jesco ceramics are known for their distinct mid-century to late-century aesthetic and substantial presence. This piece is clearly marked Jesco on the underside, ensuring its authenticity and origin. Its impressive scale makes it an ideal focal point for a large dining table, sideboard, or grand entryway.

Condition Report

The centerpiece is in very good vintage condition with no major cracks or structural repairs. Some light surface crazing may be present, which is common in glazed ceramics of this age and often adds to the authentic vintage character. The applied floral elements appear largely intact, though there may be minor, negligible flea bites to the delicate petal edges consistent with age and previous handling. The underside shows minimal shelf wear. This item presents beautifully and is ready for immediate display.
