The soup bowl is part of a four-piece place setting set that also consists of a white dinner plate with basketball vignette (2022.75.1.1), a smaller bowl with picnic scene (2022.75.1.3), and a lavender accent plate with jump rope scene (2022.75.1.4).
label: Description
content: The large, shallow white bowl features a vignette of a young woman in 18th century clothing running in a field with horses, positioned along the bottom right of the interior of the bowl. In the scene, the woman is running towards the viewer. She wears a dark pink dress with blue pantalettes and blue shoes, the only color in the otherwise grey-toned design. She has her skirts pulled up and one leg extended in the air as she jumps over a log on the ground. Running behind her are two horses. A third horse can be seen against a fence in the background. The bowl has a black rim.

content: The underside of the soup bowl has a backstamp design of two horses with the reddish-brown basketball from the basketball vignette. At center is printed black text that reads [WEDGWOOD / X / SHEILA BRIDGES / Bone China / Dishwasher Safe].
