Topic: Amethyst and clear bowl,id please,

[keith]

Only 3 ins high,polished pontil,colour reminds me of a Webbs piece I have but not the pattern around the base and sides,stumped again,help,Keith.

[keith]

Maybe Stevens and Williams? or just a shot in the dark?Keith.

[keith]

Somebody say something,pleeeeeeease,

I'd guess no-one can tell you anything at the mo, Keith. It's not a piece I recognise (but that's not saying much!) Give it a couple of days and see if someone can add something more. You might have (temporarily) stumped us! 

[keith]

Sorry,don't mean to be pushy,it's such a beautiful colour and the moulded base is so distinctive I was sure someone would recognise it,must be more patient,Keith.

It look like Stevens & Williams (Grotesque) range bowl designed by Frederick Carder.

Thanks Ming will look that up,tried out Harborne today,got a couple of pieces and saw a small amber 'hammered' hanky bowl in Blackheath but it was chipped and they wanted a fiver for it!
