Rare Meriden Alhambra Nappy – SOLD

I have never seen another handled nappy in this always desirable design by Meriden.

The first thing one notices when examining a piece of Alhambra is the unusual dental rim. Often damaged or poorly repaired, this one is in tip-top shape and I’m almost sure is original. Below the castle-like top is a chain of cut and unpolished Greek key. The rest of the Alhambra pattern is composed of chains of hobstars and bands of cane. The cutting on this bowl is considerably precise, tight, and sharp and the glass is beautifully clear.

The nappy is in perfect condition and measures 6″ wide. The blank is wonderfully clear and blacklights to show American Brilliant Period.
