I bought this on ebay and it was listed under date-lined studio glass and the seller said the previous owner had bought it in London during the 1960's.
To me it looks early Mdina , with lots of bubbles and a deep blue.
The rim has a bevelled edge and it looks as if it was ground and polished.
The base has a slightly tooled foot all the way around.
Could the bevelled edge be restoration or was it done to grind out a burst surface bubble or just to finish it off ?
If it was bought in London in the 1960's could it possibly be a pre-Mdina, Michael Harris piece...this latter theory is highly unlikely IMHO ....I'm just trowing it in as a possible !
Has anyone seen this bowl listed on e-bay before ? The seller was from Scotland.
It's quite a small bowl , only 8cm tall with a 12.5 cm diameter at the rim.
Please be as critical as possible
Thanks very much for looking !!
