Measuring 15 cm (6\") across and 4 cm (1.5\") deep, they're perfectly sized for desserts or compotes. In excellent vintage condition with no chips, damage, or crazing, these pieces have survived decades with grace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaker \u0026amp; Heritage: Crafted by H \u0026amp; K (Hollinshead \u0026amp; Kirkham) at the renowned Unicorn Pottery works in Tunstall, Staffordshire, England, these bowls bear the classic green rectangular backstamp typical of 1890s–1940s production. Hollinshead \u0026amp; Kirkham earned their reputation for vibrant, affordable earthenwares and Art Deco chintz patterns before being acquired by Johnson Brothers in 1956.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy Vintage Matters: Owning these bowls connects you to mid-20th century British craftsmanship—a time when pottery was made to last. Each gilt-trimmed edge and hand-finished detail reflects quality manufacturing that's increasingly rare today. For home-makers and collectors, vintage pieces like these add authentic character to your table while supporting sustainable living. As production ceased around the 1970s, surviving sets become ever more precious. The gentle patina of age isn't a flaw—it's a story waiting to grace your home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"romantiques.com.au","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42496264077394,"sku":"VCH1481","price":49.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0254\/3547\/1954\/files\/Vintage_ceramics_47.jpg?v=1783670073","url":"https:\/\/romantiques.com.au\/products\/vintage-h-k-tunstall-set-of-4-dessert-compote-bowls-gold-on-ivory","provider":"romantiques.com.au","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
