Grindley Peach
Petal Bowl
Here we
have a very nice Grindley Peach Petal bowl
The colour is pink
It has minor scratches on inside bottom of bowl,
and this would be due to normal wear
They are not too noticeable though
There is also a very tiny flake on the back
The bowl measures 23cm x 21cm
I am sorry for 'flash lights' in the photos
