The center three inch band is antique cream porcelain with hand painted blue and coral asters and green leaves. Signed on the bottom with the distinctive Wm Wood design and initials along with "B4286". The rim was evidently silver plated originally but worn evenly with age revealing the solid brass beneath and slight darker on inside so now appears as uniformly brass,a compliment to the porcelain gold beading appearing to have been made as brass.The bowl is hallmarked "EPNS".
