Topic: Stuart (England) bowl with profusion of curved mitre cutting.

[Paul S.]

struck me as not being very Stuart in looks, and it took some time to find the backstamp, but it's there on the edge of the foot, or at least part of it is.
Does anyone remember if we've had this design on the Board before.              Fair amount of wear, so I assumed 1950 - 60 and thought it might have been a Luxton design, but don't see it in the books.                         Size is about 11.5" x 9" (290  x  230 mm).      Any suggestions as to designer are welcome.

It's rather nice. I like it

Tending towards Art Cut as opposed to traditional.

thanks both  -  and yes, agree arty in style, and certainly unusual for Stuart.                 Disappointed me that I couldn't find this design in the books - felt sure it was going to pop up under one of Luxton's efforts.                very heavy - think it has two ton of lead in it.
Doesn't appear that anyone recognizes the cutting pattern - but it's early days yet.

I like it too! (To be read in an Irish accent  )

hi Carolyn......     no, no dahhhhling  .........    what you meant to say was pronounced (or maybe enunciated), but not read 

It cost me four pounds in a local charity shop, and took me ages to locate the backstamp  -  perhaps Nigel might have an idea.

Don't you read things and hear them in different accents in your head? I frequently have entire conversations that way LOL

[Paul S.]

dear Carolyn  -  I knew exactly what you meant - it was just me being silly as usual.          I've always had conversations with myself, and I think lots of folk do even perhaps if they don't admit it, and just goes to prove that words are essential for a society to be successful.
Thinking, without words, is unthinkable - literally.

[Carolyn Preston]

Oh, by all means, be silly. And thinking without words is more than unthinkable. I think it's impossible. :-)  (You do realize we will shortly be dewibbled, don't you).

BTW, speaking of Stuart Crystal. My sister found me a lovely Scotch glass (or so I think) by Stuart with lovely cutting of thistles on the side. (Marked, that's why I know it's Stuart LOL)

The paintings in the Lascaux and Altamira caves in Dordogne and Spain are all the more remarkable as it would seem they were created before modern language evolved.             How do you think to yourself 'gosh, think I'll paint a bison today', when you don't have words with which to think!!!           

I didn't realize that ladies drank Scotch -  does the cut pattern on your glass have a factory name?           People have been known to drink whisky from almost any shape of glass, but generally the perceived correct shape is a low tumbler with thick base  -  helps to prevent it getting knocked over when you're p...............

If you see your sister, tell her I collect C18 Lynn moulded tumblers please                   Now we will be chucked out.
