<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lva483, post: 411522, member: 8774&quot;]Hi There,</p><p>I&#039;m looking for information on this Russel Wright bowl. I know the basic information regarding this piece, but I can&#039;t find any examples w/the addition of the enameled copper piece.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you and I look forward to hearing what other&#039;s have to say about this.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>*Update Below*</b></p><p>Bowl measures 6½” x 4¾” and stands 2⅝” and the metal piece 1⅜” x ⅞”.</p><p><br /></p><p>As mentioned, I just purchased this today and haven&#039;t totally cleaned the bottom off yet. It still has the wax pencil price written on it, I&#039;m going to look around on here for cleaning tips. I&#039;m sorry about the writing but you can still clearly see Russel Wright&#039;s signature and Bauer underneath it. These marks look the same as all the other examples I&#039;ve seen online. The glaze appears correct with the outer being the grayish-blue frothy color and interior is dark with a gunmetal or oily finish.</p><p><br /></p><p>I just want to say I was originally convinced the addition was to cover some type of flaw, but decided to ask about it because of the following reasons:</p><p>- The added piece in question does appear &quot;age&quot; appropriate.</p><p>- It&#039;s located directly even in the center. The placement seems very thought out and intentional (although chips and cracks can happen anywhere).</p><p>- I purchased this along with 8 other pieces of pottery, which are exquisite to say the least. They are mostly Mid Century and Studio Pottery by very well known British, American, and Japanese artists including Byron Temple, Murray Fieldhouse and JT Abernathy.</p><p><br /></p><p>I get the impression these pieces came from a longtime collector or something of that nature, and donated by someone who wasn&#039;t aware of what they are. This isn&#039;t the first time I have found pieces like this at a thrift store, but never before in this quantity and quality.</p><p><br /></p><p>Considering all the above made me think there was a slim possibility the RW Bauer piece w/the addition could be an original unique example, but who knows.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, thank you and here are the photos.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]143398[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]143399[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]143400[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]143401[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]143402[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]143403[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]143404[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]143405[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]143406[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
