Title: Conical Bowl, Black and Gold, Embossed Pontil - ID = Charlie Meaker, England
Post by: JVB2018 on July 21, 2023, 10:13:15 PM

Wondering if anyone can ID this embossed stamp on the pontil area of a conical bowl? Image searches pointing to similar Charlie Meaker art deco type bowls but I really don't know. Hoping someone may recognise it? It's roughly 7½ inches wide by 4 or so inches tall. Clear with a black rim.

Looks like it was made by Ourglass, they are based in Devon. A few examples of their work can be found here on the board:

It is Charlie Meaker, you can see the pontil impression is the same as his signature on his stickers. https://www.badisches-auktionshaus.de/wp-content/themes/badischesauktionshaus/img/galleryslider/000354200000680000_001.JPG

  :) The mark does look a bit like an accident!
