Old bowl made of iron with ceramic seams.

Very pretty antique ironstone bowl, with authentic charm, featuring beautiful earthenware stitches that testify to a careful old repair. If this bowl could speak... It would probably tell that one day, it broke. But instead of being thrown away, it was repaired. This technique, called earthenware stitching, involved drilling the broken pieces and placing small metal staples to give new life to the objects. These scars tell a time when things were repaired before being replaced. Perhaps this is what makes it precious today. The whole piece is very sturdy. An original, authentic and charming item, to be displayed as is to preserve the testimony of its history. Careful shipping.
