5 1/2 inch Canton Bowl dates from around 1820. Used as ballast throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, these "Oriental" designs were popular with an American public hungry for all things Chinese. The Washingtons had a full service of this pattern at Mount Vernon. As this is an antique it is one of a kind and has wear commensurate with its age.
In some instances, our photo may represent an overall theme or look and include a one-of-a-kind vase which cannot be exactly replicated.
Although the actual bouquet may not precisely match the photo, its temperament will. Occasionally, substitutions of flowers and/or containers happen due to weather, seasonality and market conditions which may affect availability. If this is the case with the gift you’ve selected, we will ensure that the style, theme and color scheme of your arrangement is preserved and will only substitute items of equal value or higher value.
If any design elements are of major importance to your order, please include them in the florist instructions at checkout or contact us to ensure availability.
