'A Christmas Carol' Centre Bowl by Meinhold Brothers, c.1890s Art

'A Christmas Carol' Centre Bowl by Meinhold Brothers, c.1890s ArtAn extraordinary large 19th century bowl depicting the characters of Charles Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol' by Meinhold Brothers, Schweinsburg, Germany. The press mark to the base dates the piece between 1889 and 1905. The bowl is of flat square form with wide relief corners, each with a fantastically formed character from 'A Christmas Carol' Scrooge and the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future. There are few small scuffs and one small chip to

as is the fantastic gothic escutcheon which is in the form of a mythical creature with its mouth agape
