Not Peter McDougall bowl - any info please!

(1/7) > >>

Hi,
I purchased this bowl because I liked it - the seller thought it was Monart and was a bit upset when I told him it wasn't!
It does have some Ysart type features, the best I've come up with so far is possibly Peter McDougall. Can anyone shed any light on this?
It has a similar base to something else someone listed - can't remember what now but no definite attribution was given to that piece either. I suspect it could be 80's but that's just a guess really!
It measures 18cm diameter across rim, 7cm high.
The base has a very neat ground out pontil so it is concave, and polished, some age wear to base but not excessive.
There is a similar-ish one (but more detailed) on Ysart glass / Perthshire paperweight page.

Many thanks - any info much appreciated,
Roberta

I don't know enough about Peter's work to be able to tell, but he is still working, as far as I know, and he sells weights though the Caithness Visitor Centre in Crieff, and in the gift shop/cafe opposite that.

You might be able to contact him through them?

Okay,
Thanks for that - I'll look into it when I get chance,
Roberta

Is there much age-related wear?

flying free:
It reminds me of Gray-Stan, the whorls and the way the colour is laid on.
This is a good example of the similarities I see

However, the pontil mark doesn't remind me of Gray-Stan and I don't know whether the glass is too thick for Gray-Stan.
Just thought I'd mention it.
