Unusual swirly bubbly mishapen bowl??
« on: April 03, 2012, 04:28:59 PM »
 ???
This piece is slightly lob sided the base kinda concave from the edges in towards the sharp centre wide ring of scuffing to rim of base. The colour is unusual more white inside outside is a lot of bubbly blues/whites/and dark metalic colours.
5" wide 2" tall slightly inverted rim. Heavy construction.
Thought it could be whitefriars??

The shape and the swirly colours remind me of a 'Nazeing for Elwell' bowl that I have in a  Mulberry colour.  Nazeing did use an ink blue as I have a lattice bowl in with that blue in.  However, I find it quite difficult to id   ::)  these cloudy swirly pieces so I hope someone will be along soon who can definitely id it for you.  It would be nice if it were Gray-Stan  :)  You might look them both up, but I'm not sure there is enough white in the exterior for it to be two colour Graystan and I'm not sure about the shape either.

Thanking you for the long reply...
Its base is very similar to your piece and the shape of the bowl although no dout the person who made it might have been trying to get a large number out the day he made it as its a bit off course...
Not an easy id on these but id be fairly confident it was made at the same factory as yours!
I did wonder if it might have been michael harris blue and white swirl  ::)

It's not Michael Harris!  :o

It does bear some resemblance to cloudy Powell - which is very often quite crudely made and misshapen.
I very much doubt Gray-Stan - which tends to be rather well-made.

Earth without art is just eh.
