Peach bowl with stopper. Davidson??
« on: February 11, 2010, 11:59:07 PM »
Here we have an unusual looking bowl that is light in weight.  The bowl measures with stopper 15.5cm in height.  The stopper measures 5cm from point of star to point of star.  Within the top of the stopper there is a design of a five leaf clover.   This is difficult to see in the pictures, however the design is approx.3.2cm in the dia. of the circle.    There is to straight line on opposite sides of the bowl that meet from top to bottom indicating that this is a pressed piece. On the base from point to point measures 6.2cm.  The concave pontil is polished but rough in places and is totally off centred to the shape of the base.  I am somewhat confused about This bowl as I am not sure now whether it is pressed or blow.  Can anyone help identify this please.  Kind Regards
