A very rare pair of large antique bowls or deep plates, dating from around 1910, by Samuel Ford in the renowned design 'Cypress'.  Perfect as pasta bowls, for soups or salads, or indeed for ornamental display.
Both are in remarkable condition given their age - the colours are still vibrant and true and there are no obvious chips or cracks, just some fine, age-related crazing.  There is a very fine, hairline crack on the underside of one, as shown in the final picture.
