Description
Vintage Wembley Ware Harlequin Lustreware Sundae Bowls – Set of Six
A striking complete set of six vintage Wembley Ware pedestal sundae or dessert bowls, made in Australia around the 1950s.
Each bowl features a flower-shaped cup supported on a broad pedestal foot. The set has the classic Harlequin presentation, with individual bowls finished in blue, purple, burgundy, orange, yellow and green.
The glossy iridescent lustre glazes create attractive variations in colour under changing light. Fine gilt edging around the scalloped rims completes the distinctive mid-century design.
The bases carry printed Wembley Ware Australian Pottery backstamps.
These versatile bowls were designed for serving ice cream, sundaes, parfaits, fruit and other desserts. Their vibrant colours and sculptural form also make them an impressive display set for collectors of Australian pottery and mid-century tableware.
