LAPP Bowl

Hey! New here and have a question about this bowl. It is very large: 20” diameter and 6” deep. It has the makers mark LAPP as seen in photos. The only ceramic maker LAPP I can find is in New York and makes electrical insulators. The font of the makers mark is identical. I reached out the company but they never responded. Has anyone else seen this? See photos.

Much appreciated,
Erik

 

Is that just dirt on the outside or is the outside rough un glazed. if it is unglazed I would suspect it is some part or cover of an industrial electrical item.

 

It is unglazed. I suspected the same thing but could not find anything similar!

 

LAPP appears to have occasionally made things other than insulators -

Yes! Thank you! I got in touch with a Lapp historian. In the 40’s they made dishes like this. This was most likely a basin that was sunk into a counter.

 

at that size...it makes sense !
