David,

The pattern appears to be on the surface of the cranberry ground.  The surface is not smooth.....but is not real rough either.  I have sent you a full size image.

Jim.

In my experience of the pieces I have owned, the surface of some crackle pieces (those that have an outer casing of crackle and have not been recased again in clear) can feel rough or quite smooth depending on whether it was reheated a little after crackling.

Dear All,

thought I add a picture of what maybe a small " Aboresque " bowl very similar in shape to the very first piece that started this thread.

The blue piece is a Stevens and Williams Swirl rose bowl which I purchased at the same time as part of a pair together from the same dealer. They came from the same source.

Is this the elusive " Aboresque " or ???  I note it is on a white base and dissimilar in this way from others however....

Kind regards

Andrew
