Reticulated porcelain, also known as 'pierced' or 'lattice' porcelain, became popular in the 18th century, particularly in England and Germany, as potters sought to create more delicate and ornate tableware and decorative items. This technique involves carefully cutting or molding patterns into the clay before firing, often creating intricate lacelike effects. This style of bowl, often referred to as a 'fruit bowl' or 'bonbon dish,' was commonly produced by many European porcelain manufacturers throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. The floral decoration, particularly roses, and the gold trim are classic elements that enhance its decorative appeal.
