Footed fruit bowl with 'Zebra' pattern

Notes

Beswick Pottery, established in the early 1890s in England, is renowned for its animal figurines. The 'Zebra' pattern fruit bowl is a striking example of Beswick's mid 20th century design approach. The shape was designed by Albert Hallam and the 'Zebra' pattern designed by Jim Hayward.

The 'Zebra' pattern on the fruit bowl aligns with the 1960s and 1970s fascination with exotic animals and vibrant designs. This reflected the broader pop culture trends of that era, and the departure from the traditional focus on animal figurines and classic tableware.
