Heavy Hawkes Blowout Square Bowl

This is an extra thick bowl cut and signed by Hawkes. While this pattern shows as a numbered design in one piece of reference material, it’s believed that’s an error by the authors. I believe it remains unidentified.

A deeply cut hobstar sits central in an octagonal field. It’s surrounded on all sides by 8 pointed stars which provide the framework for larger, deeply cut hobstars on four portions of hte piece. The smaller “pockets” havea  clear puntie and another deep hobstar with fans.

Blowout bowls like this one were a specialty of Hawkes and they did an exceptional job on this one. It’s quite large, measuring 10 1/2″ wide and 3 1/4″ tall.
