Rare Hawkes Brussels Low Bowl

This bowl was cut in Hawkes’ seldom seen Brussels pattern. This exact piece is pictured on page one of the ACGA Hawkes catalog reprint. It’s signed in the center with the Hawkes trademark.

The bowl features a wavy, beveled edge rather than the more traditional teeth. Each crest of the waves houses an 18-point hobstar. The rest of the Brussels pattern features angled miters creating a beautiful patchwork of design. If you like things that are a step away from the ordinary, this bowl should certainly appeal to your cut glass sensibilities.

The bowl is in great condition with only one or two extremely small, light flakes to the edge. It is a very heavy, thick piece and measures 9″ wide and 2″ tall.
