Niderviller Vintage Hand-Painted Leopard Soup Bowl

This ceramic soup bowl has a pale yellow color that deepens as you get closer to the rim, which is edged in black. Around the rim are hand-painted leopard spots in black and brown. Made in France, it is stamped on the bottom "Niderviller" and has the name of the designer. Niderviller has been making ceramics since 1748. It was bought in 1998 and only displayed, never used and in very good condition. Measures 9" across. Very nice piece.
