Neat Hawkes Heart Shaped Center Handle Nappy

This is a really neat piece, especially the handle. The handle is made up of three globs of pulled glass which elegantly decrease in size towards the outside of the piece. It’s really a testament to the skill of the glass maker. I always thought this was the Minton pattern, but I’m not so sure anymore. It is signed Hawkes in the center.

The center portion of this pattern consists of a cluster of 8-point jeweled center stars. The tip of each one of these stars meets a fan of notched prism. Lying between each of these fans is a richly cut hobstar. The awesome, 3 lobed handle is notched up the center column.

This heart shaped dish is in perfect condition with only some minor pattern roughness present. The blank is exceptional and measures 6″ wide and 2 1/2″ tall.
