Incredible Bowl with Rose Diamond Hobstars and Hexad – SOLD |
This gorgeous bowl has been attributed to Meriden for a combination of motifs – including clear button hobstars, flat hexad, and rose diamond center hobstars.
Six large hobstars are set out symmetrically around the perimeter of the bowl. Each one of these has a center made of a huge rose diamond – one of hte most desirable and possibly difficult motifs to cut. Vesicas separate each of these hobstars and are made of flat hobstars, hexad, and crosshatching. The center of the bowl is made of six, clear-button hobstars and a center formation of star of david with hexad points.
The bowl is in excellent condition and on a perfectly clear blank that shows off the clear, rose-diamonds. It measures 8″ wide and 2 1/4″ tall.
Pattern: Rose Diamond/Hexad
