Large pink glass flower bowl with chrome stand... id = Sowerby

<< < (4/4)

Anne:
Some of the YR pieces didn't have it Pamela... about half of the YR stuff I had were marked. I guess it depended on who made then etc....   :wink:

Thanks for the offer of the pot - it's very kind of you, I hope you don't mind if I pass on it though. The YR glassware harbours some memories I'd rather not remember.  :roll:

Anne:

--- Quote from: "Adam" ---I've seen a lot of stuff at boot sales etc. which from a distance look vaguely like Sowerby 2634 but aren't.

The example shown in the first posting I'm not sure about.  All sorts of strange (to me) things seem to have been done to some familiar patterns after I left!

Thanks Adam.  Nice to see you back with us. :)

Pamela who has the 2634 bowl and I have been comparing info about these bowls - mine is the stretched one Adam, and they appear the same basic shape except that mine seems to have been stetched up and out to follow the line of the chrome stand. If mine isn't a Sowerby pattern then it seems to be a close copy of one.

I wonder if the stand looks familiar to anyone?

Anne:
An update which hopefully adds some more to this...  I found a clear Sowerby bowl to compare with the pink one at the top of this thread.

The bases are identical in size and pattern when placed over each other. The number of ribs / rays is identical, and the pink bowl looks as if it was made from the same mold as the clear one, but then stretched as I suggested earlier.

I weighed them both on my new snazzy electronic scales and the clear one weighs 1063 g and the pink one weighs 1082 g.

I have side-by-side pics to show the similarities here (click thumbnails to open full size pics):
