antique china three part bowl, large sectioned dish w/ ornate molded twig handle, flowers on shaded pink

Beautiful old unmarked china bowl, late 1800s vintage, probably Germany I think. This is BIG, about 11" across the rim. It was most likely made to hold fruit originally - but wouldn't this make a perfect purse bowl or dish to hold makeup or accessories? It's pretty heavy, solidly made despite it's dainty appearance.

The floral design is decals against white with a shaded pink border. Finish looks good with very little wear. There's a few makers flaws on the bottom rim, but no chips, cracks or discoloration.
