<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSW, post: 10399891, member: 8708&quot;]I’ve had very little time for treasure hunting recently with ageing parents to look after but I got out today to a local car boot and found this bowl from a house clearance man. </p><p>It’s unmarked except for ‘Total 14.07 Troy Oz’ in wax crayon scribbled on it. and is so badly tarnished I thought it was copper or bronze from underneath. </p><p>I’m about to start polishing it but so far I haven’t been able to find anything similar on Google so wonder if you have any ideas. </p><p>It’s large at 20cm across and 7.5cm deep with a rounded base. </p><p>405g.</p><p>It tests very strongly bright red with acid. It has a roughly soldered on rim. </p><p>It&nbsp; be looks to have been shaped by hammering. </p><p>Any ideas please? Thankyou </p><p>[ATTACH=full]523421[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]523422[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]523423[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]523424[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]523425[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]523426[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]523427[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]523428[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
