Title: Victorian bowl?
Post by: Keith Mick on June 18, 2025, 03:14:40 PM

Hi,
Found this optically moulded bowl with an applied green glass rim. Around the waist is a pinched glass rigory.
It's hand blown with a polished pontil on the base. Approx 10.5cm across the rim and 7cm high.
Think it may be a posey bowl as there's a slight internal lip, could have seated a mesh frog, but equally may have had a glass lid originally or nothing at all!!!
Any help with ID, date etc appreciated,
Cheers
Keith M

Looks late Victorian English and probably a master salt at that size.

Would it have sat in something? A silver/plated stand perhaps? It just looks a bit odd without a proper base of its own.

Hi,
Did wonder whether it started life on a metal stand but there's no sign of wear under the applied band but there is under the base.
Thanks
