St Michael M&S Embossed Fruit Serving Bowl – c.1985–1995
A large vintage St Michael Marks & Spencer white embossed ceramic serving bowl, made in Italy during the late 1980s–1990s.
This elegant bowl features a raised sculptural border of leaves, vines and fruit motifs against a clean white glazed finish. The Mediterranean-inspired relief decoration reflects the Italian ceramic ranges commissioned by Marks & Spencer under the St Michael brand during this period.
The substantial size makes it suitable for serving fruit, salads or desserts, or as a decorative centrepiece. The underside carries the St Michael, SottoSmalto and Made in Italy markings, confirming its Italian manufacture.
