I've seen another of the pink roses bowl but in blue and that was stated to be Jobling.

Not marked in any way. Any info as to maker/age would be welcome, thanks!

Hi Anne
I would agree the pink one could very well be a Jobling Lambton Bowl I have attached a link to a scan from a Jobling Catalogue, mine is a copy also, hope you can read it.

An advert for this style of Art glass by Jobling appeared in PGG in 1933.

I have a few pieces from this range, new project, to photo them for my album.

... Not marked in any way. ...

Anne — perhaps you should have written "Not ... appears to be marked in any way."

As for the Jobling Lambton bowl, Rose pattern, #11000, if it is the 13" table centre, I can't remember where the mark is.   If the fruit bowl size, it is marked in one of the gaps in the decoration near the base in two lines something like "REG NO." / "787872".   Sometimes this is so faint as to be very difficult to see, but it is always there.   It is not orientated to the bowl, but to fit the space.

Tony, thank you! That does look like it but mine is smaller... 8.5" not 13". I look forward to seeing your other bowls too.

Bernard, thank you. I've looked again at the pink bowl and there is absolutely nothing... with naked eye, hand magnifier and large fresnel magnifier... nothing, nada, zilch. I've even held it it before a strong light and looked all over it from both sides and still nothing. If it makes a difference, this one is 8.5" diameter and 3.5" high. The other one I saw like it in blue (on eBay) is said to be marked 'Regd Appd For' but mine hasn't even got that.

The pink bowl is the same as my Jobling lampshade, which is marked with a registered number. (REG No. 735872 - I think. Hard to read inside-out!)

Hi Sue,

Try 787872.   I think that you will find that it fits.

I believe I'm right in thinking than they were made to be used either as lampshades or fruit bowls, depending on whether fittings were added or not!  :shock: Am I right, Bernard?

[Anne]

Leni, it seems there are two sizes of the rose bowl as well as two uses for it. My bowl is 8.5" diameter whereas the one in Tony's catalogue pic is 13".

Sue. how big is your lampshade? I'd guess the larger size - is that right?

[chopin-liszt]

:D:D
Yes, 13".

[Bernard C]

Unfortunately the original material I have seen on Jobling does not indicate whether or not they supplied either bowl with fittings, or even whether they drilled the large bowl, although I am sure they did.
