Rare, Large Dorflinger Savoy Bowl SOLD |
This is a very large, heavy bowl cut in the Savoy design by Dorflinger. This pattern is seldom seen and I also have a great rose globe in the same design here.
The Savoy pattern is made up of four very deeply and accurately cut 24-point hobstars. The hobstars are divided by beading and a vesica featuring a flat hobstar in the top half and a fan in the lower portion. Crosshatching leads to the base of the bowl where the most fascinating part of this piece is located. It features 8 TUSKS (one of the most difficult motifs of the period) divided by more beading which meet in the center at four fanned fields.
The bowl is in great condition and on a wood polished, clear blank. It measures 10 1/4″ wide and 4 1/2″ tall.
