Coveted Tuthill Primrose and Swirl Bowl – SOLD

This beauty is cut in Tuthill’s Primrose and Swirl pattern. It is signed in the center and exhibits what Tuthill became masters of – combining geometric and realistic cutting.

Chains of alternating hobstars and crosshatching swirl, ever so elegantly, around the entire bowl and converge in the center.  In between each of these chains is a thriving primrose bloom, starting from just a stem, to leaves, to buds, to blooms all the way to a full flower. The technical prowess of the engraver is shown in full.

This bowl is in perfect condition with just tiny flake on the rim. It measures 8 1/4″ wide and 3 1/2″ tall. A wonderful example of some of Tuthill’s best work!
