EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a set of carpet bowls dating back to the late 19th century. Created by an English School, these glazed ceramic bowls are a testament to the leisurely pastimes enjoyed during that era. Each bowl has a circumference of 7 cm and features intersecting stripes in various vibrant colors on a pristine white background. The circular shape and striped design of these bowls add an intriguing visual element, capturing the essence of Victorian entertainment. Whether used for indoor or outdoor play, carpet bowls provided hours of amusement for people from all walks of life. Displayed at The Geffrye Museum of the Home in London, UK, this group shot highlights multiple earthenware objects arranged in an aesthetically pleasing composition. The rounded format and studio lighting enhance the beauty and intricacy of each individual bowl. With their patterned surfaces and spherical form, these ceramic treasures serve as both functional dishes and exquisite works of art. They represent not only a popular game but also reflect the craftsmanship and attention to detail prevalent during this period. As we admire this image captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness how individuals found joy through simple yet engaging hobbies like carpet bowling.
