<p>[QUOTE=&quot;OldWhitby, post: 8174388, member: 17301&quot;]I acquired this bowl several years ago and have puzzled ever since about how it would have been used. It also exhibits an interesting mix of glass making techniques.</p><p>It is 10.75&quot; in diameter and the rim is 3&quot; wide. The rim is very flat and shows very slight striations which you would expect in a hand blown (spun &amp; tooled) piece. However the centre bowl is pressed glass, including the Heisey diamond in the middle and a couple of scratch-like flaws in the mold. The entire bottom of the centre bowl is ground flat and has a star pattern that appears to be hand cut (possibly to cover a pontil mark).</p><p>So what is it? How was it used and when was it made?</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]425817[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]425818[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]425819[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]425820[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]425821[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]425822[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
