Is this a Monart bowl?
« on: October 14, 2020, 02:31:28 PM »
I'm not sure of the shape, but I believe from the style and pontil mark that this is a Monart bowl/dish. Any comments much appreciated.
Best regards
Nick

Sorry,  8 1/2"  diameter and 2 1/4" deep or 215mm x 55mm. Weight unknown as the watch type battery on my scales needs replacing :)

Looks about right.  :)
It might be the pattern known as "Queen Mother" - that was a very pale blue.

I have one but it's greens and blues swirls with some glittery bits iirc. Does that make a difference to what it's called?  For some reason I'd thought mine was called Royal Wedding but mine's a bit different colourway.

Photos are not great as it's actually quite pale and eau de nil effect in real life;

The pale blue with gold aventurine was for something to do with Elizabeth of Glamis, her wedding or something to do with her becoming queen mother - I'm not really up on any details of royalty, they're not currently part of my social set.
Their application is currently in the pending drawer.  ;)
Pale green was nothing to do with her - only the very pale baby blue.
It looks the correct colour for Brenda's Mum's stuff in the first two pics - but it looks a lot darker in the others. :)

 I wonder what mine is then. Must have a look through again.
I forgot about it for a long while but recently pulled it out the cupboard again and it's now very nicely displayed  :D

 Thank you both for the information.
Sue:
The actual colour most resembles the first two photos which were taken against a dark background with flash, the other two were in dull natural light. The Queen Mum did wear lots of baby blue outfits, perhaps it was her favourite colour. The second bowl I listed today is a very similar colour, Id be very interested in any views you have on it.
Flying Free:
Very nice to have a label on yours. Does the UB VII designation refer to the bowl shape or the colourway?
Kind regards
Nick

Honestly, I've got no idea.  I seem to remember it refers to the shape I think?
I need to go and do some reading up  :-[

I had a look at your other piece and I suspect Nazeing but don't know enough to be absolutely sure it's not Grey-Stan. I suspect not, but decided to keep my trap shut! Not Ysart though.

I couldn't even track down the Ysart glass bit of Scotland's Glass today. ::)

From YsartGlass https://www.ysartglass.com/extrapics/PicsMonart02.htm (Fourth entry)

Quote
M0014 Monart bowl, The Silver Wedding design.

Shape: UB.
Size: 215mm Diameter.
Colour: Pale blue, clear rim with aventurine.

By the way, the VII in the OPs post is the size code. And the silver wedding was in 1948 in respect of George V and Elizabeth (Queen Mother).
