<p>[QUOTE="Dave D, post: 2859479, member: 13967"]This didn't look too impressive when I pulled it out but after I cleaned it up it looks a lot better. The stems and veins are goldish when the light is at the right angle. Is this considered ormolu? I just learned that word today trying to research this bowl so I could be wrong. The bowl is 10 1/2" across. I think my mom was given this by one of her older friends and it's probably sat in that upper cupboard shelf since she moved to the house in 1977 {and she probably had it a long time before that.}</p><p>There are a couple of small air bubbles in it. There are no identifying marks. Reflecting light kind of played havoc with my photos.</p><p>Thanks for anything you can tell me about this.
