Brockwitz? Flower Basket/Bowl Verification?
« on: March 03, 2015, 03:46:44 AM »
I'm not sure if this has been posted before, but it's a centrepiece I have had together for a couple of years.
Usually the Brockwitz Cockatoo (Kakadu) is photographed in a Fortuna bowl, although it is shown by itself in the 1936 Coloured Panels (Farbentafeln) supplement, with 3 fruit bowls on the same page, 15.
I have placed mine in what I think might be a Brockwitz Flower Basket (Blumenkorb), but I have not found one in any of the Brockwitz catalogues. It features the same legs as the Prismen Flower Basket and Fruit Bowl shown on page 5 of the same supplement. It has the same design in the base as the Prismen set. I am wondering if someone, such as Pamela or Siegmar, might have come across some information about this Flower Basket/Bowl. It may just come with a number, not necessarily a name.
I have attached photos of both the unidentified basket, and the Prismen Fruit Bowl, that I also own, so that comparisons can be made.
Enjoy the alternative Cockatoo set.

G'day Neil  :)
simba-Angela has got the same bowl in green - I still believe yes, Brockwitz - although no catalogue proof found so far.

Thanks for that, Pamela.
Would you say that the same legs and the same design in the base as the Prismen set would be enough to qualify it as Brockwitz?
I will catch up with Angela about hers, to see if she has a cockatoo in hers.
Good to hear from you again.
Neil

Another vague possibility is Poland around and after 1940 (Hortensja) where several patterns from Saxony can be found, however, neither proof for your bowl, I'm afraid. 

It's another evidence for Brockwitz if the bird sits properly, I'd say.
