Edward Moore Bowl Rd. 80013.

(1/1)

NevB:
Part of a suite with the Rd.80013 from 1/9/1887, this is a 5" bowl, overall diameter 8". There is one in the Glass Queries Gallery which I think is possibly smaller and a sugar bowl, with a lid, there's no recess or wear on mine to suggest it had one. Weight is about 950gms.

neilh:
The books say that Edward Moore started to add lead to glass again in the 1890s but I've never seen any sign of it in these late 1880s registrations.

NevB:
Neil, I must get a new one but using a rather ancient spring balance I make the density around 2.7gms/cm3. It has a slight ring to it despite being heavily moulded.
