Topic: Can anyone ID my Bowl (normally used for peanuts!)?

Can anyone tell me anything about the bowl I use for peanuts!

Yellowy, green (moss?) in colour, with a honeycomb pattern. Footed bowl with ground and polished pontil mark. 11.5cm in diameter and 5cm high. The inside of the bowl is quite convex - I have tried to show this in the pic's but it is not obvious!

Any thoughts?

and some more.....

nice bowl - I suggest you reserve it for top quality peanuts only!

LOL! - Always top quality, Ivo! - Sometimes cashew nuts as well!    :chky:

I was about to post that this could be Villeroy & Boch, based on the fact that I had one in green and one in red.  They were supposed to be used for tea-lights, although I ended up selling mine.  Howeverrrrr...after looking at the photos harder, I think the glass of yours is thinner and possibly finer and older than mine was, although the silhouette and pattern is very similar indeed.  Also...it looks like yours has a kind of 'hump' in the bottom?  The V&B ones don't have that as far as I can remember.

I looked all over Google, on here and on ebay and couldn't find any tea-light holders the same as the one I had, sorry.   :cry:

I would say much older; something like Webb or Walsh Walsh 1920s/30s. I think Ivo's thoughts might lie in that sort of direction too.

Powell also had a range like that, but not sure about the colour .

Thanks Everyone for your input!

Some ideas there to get stuck into researching...!

Yes Max, there is quite a 'hump' inside the bowl and I too, am inclined to think it has some age to it.
