Hi all,

My latest Carnival addition: A three footed bowl.

I have looked through my book and on the internet, but I cannot find this pattern. :cry:

All help appreciated, as always.

You've found me a puzzle, Della :lol:

I don't think I have seen this piece before. Forgive me - I can't even start looking through catalogues and archive right now as I have to go to the dentist....... :roll: yuck

No problem, Glen and no rush.

Good luck at the dentist. :wink:

Hi Della - I'm still mystified by your pretty bowl. Can I ask if the bottom of the feet are ground flat? They remind me of my Walther "Waltraut" bowl.

Still looking........

Glen
p.s. dentist was horrid :roll: yuck yuck

Hi, would I be wrong in saying that the feet are typical of german glass?

It does look a bit similar in some ways to the Chevron pattern by Walther

I have just found this "Bruno"

What do you think?

Oops, Glen, I didn't see your previous post.

Hi Glen,
Yes the feet are ground flat, I presume this is because the mould lines run down the centre of each foot.

Hi Tiger,
The 'Bruno' pattern looks very similar, but there are indents above the diamonds, between the panels on that pattern, and not on mine.

'Tis baffling.

Scroll feet are found on plenty of USA Classic Carnival items (e.g. Fenton). Most European Carnival usually has a ground base, without feet. But there are examples of scroll feet from (for example) Walther, Brockwitz and Inwald. They differ from the Classic USA examples in that the European ones are (usually) ground flat.

So Della's bowl is almost certainly European - and my "gut feel" is Walther - but I could well be wrong.
