Title: Centrifuge Bowl - Dartington? ID = Dartington "Gripfruit" FT148
Post by: Pinkspoons on April 26, 2010, 12:35:03 PM

I've a pair of these wee chaps, but I can't locate them anywhere within my books or catalogues. They came with a few Kosta Boda pieces, but there's something a little Dartington about the design.

They're stippled to the outside, with a bobbled textured base. The interior is scalloped and smooth. Viewed from above, they look a little like daisies (probably where the Dartington idea came from).

Excellent - three cheers for gut instinct!

Many thanks for the confirmation.  :)

*slaps forehead*

I went through Hajdamach's latest looking for them initially, but I forgot to check out the Dartington catalogues on the WF.org website:
