A nice lead crystal bowl for sweets!
We used this bowl when the grandchildren came to visit to tantilise them with a bowl of attractive looking sweets on the dining table (see one of the photographs)
UNIDENTIFIED MANUFACTURER - Crystal Bowl
The manufacturer is unidentified because we cannot remember! It used to have a little metallic sticker on the underside but that has come off and there is no makers marks etched into the crystal (unlike our Nachtmann which always etches their logo into the crystal)
Lead Crystal
Lead content is PROBABLY 24% but as the label is now missing, I cannot confirm this.
Heavy duty, not a thin crystal such as you will find with drinking crystal
Simple but "light catching" cut leaf design with something like a scalloped top rim. The sides also have frosting.
So how large is this bowl?
DIMENSIONS:
140mm diameter (about 5.5 inches) x 50mm deep (2 inches)
Crystal thickness 5.25mm
WEIGHT: 400g
Plenty of room to fill with delicious candies!
COSMETIC CONDITION:
CLEAN
NO cracks
NO damage to the crystalware at all
Small brown spot (glue residue) which can be viewed looking down into the bowl. This is where the metallic label used to be - I have not tried but am guessing this could be removed with a little extra cleaning. To be frank, it is not something that has worried us, it is very light marking.
