Perfectly Balanced Monroe Myrtice Bowl SOLD

This bowl, in C.F. Monroe’s Myrtice design features a wonderful swirling design with a wide variety of motifs.

In terms of swirling patterns, the Mrytice pattern is quite different in that it undulates in more than one direction rather than swirling in the same direction. The bars of the swirl feature a unique field of crosshatching, with a clear cut, wide-set rayed star in each one. A flat hobstar is placed in between each of these crosshatched area. Notched prism divides the bars and is topped with fan and deep hobstars finish off the piece at the edge.

This bowl is on a beautiful blank and is in mint, original condition. It measures 8″ wide and 2″ tall. This pattern is very much singular in a sea of cut glass designs and exemplifies a both pleasing to the eye arrangement and high quality cutting.
