Bowl with feather or leaf design & turned over rim
« on: August 28, 2008, 07:48:17 PM »
Any help with this huge bowl would be appreciated.  Weighing 2.3kg - 13" diam. x 3½" approx. high. Not sure if the pattern is a leaf or feather one, but the relief pattern is on the underside.  I would imagine it would have had its own plinth to sit on judging by the base.

Thankyou  ;D

That base looks like the sort of base that sits on an upturned smaller comport (pedestal type sugar bowl thingy) to form a a large comport.

You could be right.  The base is different to any of the other bowls I have that sit quite happily on the plinths I've got.
