Topic: Monart bowl?

[AndyD]

Just wondering if anyone can confirm this as a Monart bowl. It has a concave pontil. As it's not with me at the moment I only have the one image but can add more in a few weeks if needed. It measures 6 inches tall and is 10 inches across the rim. I can't find the shape anywhere.

Many thanks,

Andy

It does look very Monarty to me, colourwise.
It does look like an unusual shape, but not an unlikley one.

Have you searched this website?

My image does make it look more top heavy than it is. There are similar shapes but not with the footed base.

Thanks for the web site I will have a look.

I hadn't noticed the applied foot. That makes it more Monart-y.
I have also just realised you said this is the only photo you have - is it your photo or somebody else's?

Shape UC looks closest, towards the bottom of the page: http://ysartglass.com/Moncat/Page04.htm

It is my image, the bowl is somewhere else at the moment but I took a few images before it went. None of it from the side or bottom that would of been more useful.

Thanks John, I'll have a look, there is another one for sale on a popular auction site very similar although smaller and with no foot.

I'm 99 percent sure it's monart. Was it ever etched as with Vasart or did they only use labels?

Thanks,      Andy

No problem then, thanks for letting us know.
I asked a moderator to keep an eye on this, just in case.

I would be pretty confident the piece is Monart.
(But I can't answer questions about marks and labels.)

What else could it possibly be? 
The only other possible contenders would be Schneider or perhaps WMF, but I think those highly unlikely.

Thanks very much Sue, really helpful.

I agree with you John, shape UC is very similar and the 91/2 inch would be about right, I guess the sizes were approx.

Many thanks,

Andy

[chopin-liszt]

Yes, sizes were approximate. They were all unique, individually made pieces.
Miles and miles ahead of their time.

[AndyD]

They do seem to be well ahead of the rest for the period, I like this piece so much I have ordered a book on the Ysart family to learn as much as possible and hopefully find more beautiful pieces.

Thanks again both for your help.
