Thoughts on some finger bowls.
« on: August 24, 2011, 03:06:25 PM »
Acquired these bowls this morning for Sterling £1.25 (for all three) - and am assuming second half of C19.       The banding is moulded, and some seeds and bubbles are to be seen in each piece, and although it may not be evident in the pictures, there is a very slight 'sun-purpling' to the glass - and with ground/polished pontil marks as shown, although not of the highest quality.     Glass appears to have lead content, as they give a good 'ding' when flicked.            Although seemingly matching (mould blown I assume), they have descending heights as follow: 86mm, 84mm and 82mm, so very 'haute cuture'.        Anyone care to take a punt as to origin, and am I in the right area for age.    thanks for looking :)
