Title: Smoky amethyst random bubble bowl folded rim polished pontil who made this??
Post by: charliepedro on October 07, 2011, 11:52:06 AM

Hi ppl,

Does anyone know who might have produced this lovely bowl? I would make a very vague and entirely uninformed guess at Nazeing but perhaps you know better...
The rim has been carefully folded under, creating extra thickness and uniformity, though saying that, the rim is left far from uniform in terms of thickness which varies considerably from one side to t'other. Strangely enough, the bubbles though random to some extent have a sort of balance and symmetry. Pontil mark has been carefully ground out and polished as per pics. Diameter is just shy of 10'' with base diameter of 3.25'' - it weighs 730 grams.
Hope someone can kindly enlighten me.

Cheers, Charlene  :sun:

Recent and possibly Polish, I have been buying these for my father when I see them, some have SIA stickers on them.

Are you hiding part of that rim because it is not folded like the rest of it? >:D
