The Delicate Daisy series extends the Franz design philosophy into a simpler, more restrained idiom than the Papillon range — the single open daisy bloom and leaf forms providing an organic handle that reads as naturalistic rather than decorative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe spoon is of slender elongated form with a shallow oval bowl graduating from cream to pale celadon green along the handle. The handle is formed as a green-glazed stem with a small circular aperture, rising to a spread of applied green leaves surmounted by a single open daisy bloom — white petals with a yellow centre, finely detailed. The underside of the bowl carries the blue underglaze Franz mark and red seal stamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are no chips, cracks, or paint loss.
