Meticulous Hawkes Oriental Deep Bowl – SOLD

This is an unusual sized piece cut in Hawkes incredible Oriental design – easily one of their most elaborate patterns from the Brilliant Period.

The Oriental design has three fields which feature an extremely unusual hobstar formation, which features thirteen hobstars each! Each of these areas is surrounded on all sides in zippered cutting which runs into a square-off hobstar. The center of the plate features a beautiful cluster of hobstars. The remaining portion of the pattern consists of chains of hobstars and crosshatching separated by notching and additional crosshatching in the teeth.

The bowl is in perfect condition and measures 7″ wide and 3″ tall. I’ve never seen another bowl in this dimension and certainly not cut this well.
