Topic: bowl with strange decoration.

[lwerk]

Hello I have a light yellow bowl,with a decoration that looks like it is cut out and is frosted.
It is dated about the beginning of the 20Th century!
It is handmade.
The crosscut is  35 cm,the height 7 cm.
Does anybody  have an idea?
Thank you Lisa

Hi Lisa, when you say it is dated, do you mean that it does actually have a date on the piece (if so what date) or are you suggesting that you believe (or have been told by someone else) that it is early 20th century?  To my (non-professional) eye it looks much later than that so clarification would be welcome, thanks.

To me it looks like one of these pressed dishes from the 1950s which could be acquired in Holland by saving up coupons from soap packages - I think Castella but it could be Persil or Omo...

It does not seem to have a pontil mark?

It does look as those it has a cut rim though

If it were blown the rim would have been finished hot, not cut as if to remove the burrs.

No it has no pontil mark,it has an indentation at the bottom and a bump when you feel on the inside!
The rim is cut!
kind regards Lisa

Then it must be pressed,kind regards Lisa
