This elegant footed bowl is Old Paris (Vieux Paris) porcelain, of the Restauration period, probably Louis Philippe, who reigned 1830 to 1848.

This handsome bowl has rich gilding in good condition, which includes two near rectangular reserves, each hand painted with a rustic landscape featuring a lone traveller and a two story building.The upper exterior of the bowl is a pale pink. The diameter is just shy of 20cm, and it stands 9.5 cm tall.
