Topic: Another ID search Unusual texture bowl. Early Opalescent Pink English? Bohemian?

[obscurities]

Aplogies again for pic quality....  This bowl measures approx 10 inches in diameter and is quite heavy and thick. The pontil area is not so much polished and ground as it appears more carved away. A little different from what I am used to seeing.  Deeply ridged for the pattern and a well done piece of glass. My search revealed nothing similar... Bohemian English??

An interesting example for sure.

TIA

for what it's worth Craig, I've just been through Gulliver but regret nothing really matches.    I assume that's an opalescent effect in the base.
Snail shaped feet abounded in the last quarter of the C19, but what I thought was intriguing is the very irregular, sort of asymmetrical shaped toothed rim design  -  these decorative rims usually had a more regular design look.

As you say, a very interesting looking piece.

Hi Craig,
How unusual.
I've not known you to be stumped before:)

[obscurities]

I get stumped a lot Fran...  they usually end up here when I do....

Paul, what I find interesting, and what I could not locate another example of is the overall asymmetrical look to the piece.... everything is kind of "random" in feel....  but intentional in execution....

mold blown into some sort of wire cage thing? then hand crimped rim maybe?
I like the opalescence and colour

I have no idea where I would look, though I'm tempted to say the USA or even the East (old not new though). Never seen anything like it.

how does it compare to the Monot Stumpf salt if you still have it?
The opalescence/colour appears similar.
How much wear on the bottom of the little feet?
How regular is the crimped rim.  The photo makes it looks as though it's completely random all round but is it in fact a regular 'random' pattern for the rim?

I do not have it in front of me, but there was a lot of wear on the feet. Completely different "feel" to it than the Monot Stumpf piece had, albeit the size is completely different. 

I considered American for a bit, but I really do not know. I too have never seen anything like it....

I love a good puzzle.... 

[obscurities]

Adding some images that are much better. I think they make it an even more interesting mystery. The appearance of the ribbon edge on the bowl is accurate. Makes it an even more intriguing piece.....

Craig — I prefer English from the applied feet, which look very Greater Stourbridge (Stourbridge plus Dudley and Birmingham) to me.   It's worth having a close look at Gulliver for similar tooling on the feet.
