Title: Crystal Salad bowl Id Request
Post by: Otis Orlando on October 16, 2013, 09:28:04 AM
Hi,  Ive got this very large bowl and currently not able to find any information during my searches. I don't think there is much age to it though.  The pattern within the centre is not something I have seen before either.  The centre of the bowl is relatively flat, uneven in areas, but gives the appearance of being a dome shape.  The base area is concave.   The bowl is very heavy, weighing approx 3.3kg.  Measurements 23.8cm x 238cm x 5.6cm.  The corners around the dia. rim of the bowl is  slightly concaved.  There's not much more I can really say about it other than it is very well polished.   Any help appreciated.

don't think you'd get much salad in something that was only 2.1/8" deep - can't we call it something else ;) ;)

You use the word 'polished' Otis, which implies it's was cut originally - but it looks like a pressed piece to me?

We've got to rationalise our food supply now Paul  ;D.  We can certainly call it something else.   Obviously now you have pointed out, not a salad bowl.   I'll let you decide what to call it, cuz I just haven't  a clue ::).  Correction, it is a pressed piece, with a very smooth surface.  Thanks for highlighting my errors. :(.   Pressed, one would of thought there would be multiples, would you not agree?    I've had a quick surch again this morning, but nothing yet.
