Large cobalt blue bowl - ID help needed
« on: March 24, 2012, 01:58:20 AM »
Hi All, it's my first post on the forum... I cannot walk past any well designed object and while hunting for WGP pieces I started to gather Scandinavian and Czech glass amongst other. Recently I picked up this wonderful bowl and I was wondering whether anyone here would know anything about the maker? Thanks!

Welcome to the board. We'd like a bit more information to be able to help you. We need a shot of the whole item and the base and some information on dimensions please.

Thanks everyone for your replies! Bowl is large, about 35cm in diameter. I had a feeling that is Czech or Scandinavian...

Yes, it's West German Pottery and I'm in Ireland but collect mostly in my native Poland  :)

Here are photos of the base and whole bowl (sorry, 2nd is out of focus...)

Hi,

A view straight down on the bowl would help. Is the base chamferred?

David: No, it's a straight cut (apologies, I don't know the right terminology!).
