Topic: Small thick walled streaky bowl- ID ? ID = Whitefriars, Dunne-Cooke design

[Scott13]

Hi, any help in ID'ing this bowl much appreciated 

It's thick walled, has six lobes at the base and has a ( perfectly formed ) concave polished pontil mark.

The base is quite heavily worn.
My colour sense is pretty hopeless so I'll just call it green ( the streaky bits ) and blue.

Wt 520 gms
W   8 cms
H.  5.5 cms

Looked at a lot of stuff online ( Leerdam, Maastricht , Whitefriars , Scandinavian and Czech ) but haven't been able to find a match

Many thanks for looking

Could be a Dunne Cooke bowl but I've never seen one with six lobes before, so I'm unsure.

[Scott13]

Hi Marc1976, thanks for your reply.

It has the flat top and if it was made at Whitefriars under the supervision of Dunne-Cooke presumably it wouldn't have been too difficult to add a few lobes ?

The streaky bits looked green to me last night and this am ( artificial light), but now in daylight they look more of a bluey green 
The other colour is definitely blue

It would be great if it was a Dunne-Cooke piece.

Many thanks for looking

Hi, here's a lobed thick walled streaky bowl- allegedly by Capt Dunn-Cooke.
It's a lot larger and perhaps less neater than mine but their profiles are similar.........
What do you think ?

Scott

[Marc1976]

Id go with DC on that one too.

[Scott13]

I'd never heard of Capt Dunne-Cooke; I know a bit about him now !

Many thanks for your input-greatly appreciated.

He was quite prolific. I have a few of his Strombergshyttan vases.

[Scott13]

Yes prolific- and versatile, if he had to run Elfverson & Co as well.

I suppose he signed his Strombergshyttan pieces ( perhaps he didn't, in which case one would have to have an Elfverson catalogue ? ) - but it must be really difficult trying to identify his WF ones.

Hi, streaky 6 lobed bowl- you look almost identical to mine

Great! Yours is looking pretty good for a DC piece then.
