Topic: id request for citrine lobed bowl. ID = Duncan Miller "Canterbury"

[Paul S.]

probably destined to be another unknown bowl - but looks good, although when flicked absolutely no ring - so am thinking soda glass and without any lead content - is that right?
Good quality ground/polished pontil - and more citrine (with a hint of lemon) than gold/amber, perhaps.     Diameter is 10"/255mm.    Still has some of the trifle stuck around the edges I think, and I've hunted but no sign of a mark -  quite a lot of age related wear on those parts of the lobes on which it rests.    Do let me know if anyone has any ideas, and thanks for looking.

Your bowl is Duncan Miller from the US, in the canterbury pattern. I love their citrine color!

Janice, you have made my day/week/month  -  I honestly thought this was destined to be yet another unknown piece.  thanks very much indeed, and I agree with you, this citrine is a gorgeous colour.    Since I don't collect States material (I was hoping secretly this might have been a U.K. Whitefriars/Webb/whatever piece), then think this should return back over the pond for the cost of postage only - if you are interested.    Let me know, and thanks again.

Did you check it with your UV light?

would I ever not, in view of that sort of colour, I dashed immediately for the torch when I got home  -  only to be very disappointed.      Rather misleadingly, this almost lemony citrine - in sunlight - makes you think you are picking up the u., even without the torch  -  it's almost a little akin to Webb's Sunshine Amber.   But I do promise you, not even the hint of a glow.
