Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

A large, white bone china soup bowl from the Wedgwood X Sheila Bridges collaboration, featuring the horses vignette from Bridges' Harlem Toile de Jouy design. 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). 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.
