LARGE GLOBE BOWL

No backstamp – not a problem! 25cm (10”) top diameter; 12.3cm (4 7/8”) base diameter; 10.2cm (4”) approx height. No chips, cracks or crazing. Some overglaze runs on the top of the inside and outside. Small firing fissure on the inner top edge that has a small amount of greying associated with it. Inside the bottom of the bowl are some utensil marks with very small brown spots associated with them. Also, four fine blue lines from the blue glaze. Very few firing bubbles to the outside. Five small white spots in the blue bands and if you hold the bowl up to the light there is some very slight unevenness to the blue slip. Blue spot in the bottom white band. Base clean, three stilt marks and light dirt to the outer unglazed foot rim. Very nice early piece, not easily found in this size. Unpacked weight: 1240g. REF NO: CWS1470. Price: 95.00GBP.
