request for origin of heavily cut bowl.
« on: September 14, 2014, 08:08:58 PM »
Believe nicky00 had a small all-over cut bowl very recently but so far no replies, and I suspect this one may go the same way.
There's a temptation for Brits. to think of ABP when we see these extensively cut pieces with hobstars and saw toothed rims, but probably more likely to be Czechoslovakia/Bohemia/Germany, and possibly from the 1960's.

This one lacks the sort of wear I'd expect to see on ABP, most pieces of which would now be at least 100 years old.      Colour is definitely a tad greyish I think, and there's not a square cm. of surface uncut, so someone gave it a lot of their time.         8.75" in diameter (220 mm) and has a very good ring when flicked.

Don't remotely expect a maker's name, but grateful for any thoughts on origin, and thanks for looking. :)
