A friend dropped these into me from his late mothers estate, i told him they are not very exciting and
would drop them off at a charity shop. (set of 6)
Gave them a clean, and i wondered how old they may be ? The bowls are hand blown,
im wondering with these unusual pressed/moulded feet they could be older than i thought, late 19thC ?
Any ideas?
Cheers Andy

If you had had them in red (and the exchange rate is playing your way) then they were worth selling back to the US. Not sure whether it's still true now.
