Monart RA ?

(1/2) > >>

Della:
Hi all,

My latest purchase! And I think it is Monart RA, but never, ever, having handled Monart, I would like a little reassurance

To my eye, it matches the one on Frank's site.
It is 22.5 cm in height. (Sorry no " tape measure here.  :oops: )


 :shock: Click to enlarge :shock:

I got it for a steal, so I am hoping that it was my lucky day.  :lol:  :lol:

Thanks in advance. :lol:

Frank:
It looks like it was your lucky day. :D

Indeed shape RA in the original shape and probably early, say c1930. How close is the colour in the image to the piece.

Generally would sell in the 250-500 Euros range.

Della:
Hi Frank,

Thank you.  :D  The colour is pretty close, but with any kind of lighting, there is a very slight difference, ie the orange on the photo looks slightly more flourescent than the piece itself.

If it is worth that much  :shock:  :shock:  then I am a lucky girl today and a happy one.   :wink:  :wink:

P.S. It is perfect!

Frank:
Perfect maybe, this shape is particularly prone to annealing cracks. You need to study the surface inside and out at every angle possible with a point light source. They can be as small as 1mm and show up by reflection only. They cannot be felt and only go through one casing layer.

Della:
Okay, see my bubble burst.  :wink:



I really don't know what I am looking for, Frank. I am embarrassed to say that I have never seen an annealing crack.  :oops:  :oops:
