Rare and Always Desirable Tuthill Rex Bowl – SOLD

This bowl is signed by Tuthill and cut in their most-desirable Rex design. This is one of the most easily recognizable and collectible patterns of the Brilliant Period.

The signature component of this bowl is a collection of 12 cane vesicas arranged in the center like flower petals. These have tiny fans in between each, interspersed with tiny, bright crosshatching. A layer of notching runs around the center of the bowl, creating an interior circle leading to a chain of hobstars and crosshatching which leads to a serrated and spiked rim.

This gorgeous piece is on a magnificent blank and in excellent condition – it has one tiny little flake to the side of the center vesicas. The bowl measures 8 1/4″ wide and 3 5/8″ tall. This pattern doesn’t come up often and this is an excellent example.
