Incredible Dorflinger Victor Bowl – SOLD |
This is a really unique bowl in Dorflinger’s Victor pattern. This pattern was always done with a lot of care and all of the examples I’ve ever witnessed were of great quality. I love how the clear areas in the pattern really capture light and show off the quality of the glass. The blank is quite unique in its flair and almost crimped rim.
The beautiful Victor pattern consists of two chains of clear-button hobstars both around the outside and interior of the pattern. In between the two chains is notched prism cutting with varying widths of clear glass in between each one. This creates the beautiful light catching mechanism I mentioned. The center of this piece is finished with a gorgeous 24-point hobstar. Every inch of the cutting was smoothed over to radiant like brilliance with a wood-wheel. It’s just incredible Dorflinger work.
This is not only a very large piece, but also the blank is extremely thick and heavy. The bowl measures 10 3/4″ long, just under 10″ wide, and 3 1/4″ tall.
