Sorry Mr. Perfect, but I was unaware that deleting the pic from my photbucket account would delete it from this website.
I also tried to delete this post, as my question was answered, but was unable to.

Antique Questions Forum / Asian Bowl with Random Gold Flake

« on: August 15, 2011, 10:25:06 am »

If anyone can help, I would like to know if this Asian bowl, with what appears to be randomly applied Gold flake, is worth a $20.00 professional appraisle.
It was with the other early 1820's Knight Elkin & Co. bowl I found which is why I believe it may have some age and value. I do know it's not from the dollar store.
Thanks in advance.Tim

Also some amount of yellowing and crazing (crackling of the glaze) are all normal for such an old piece and should not affect the value. You've got multiple hallmarks there, and we're really going to need big, high-resolution pictures to make them out. Those blue circular ones and the text above the maker's name. I can't tell in the last image if those are letters or numbers, but I'm old as dirt and blind as a bat, LOL

There is a impressed rectangle above the green hallmark, which says "Iron Stone China" [middle] and below that "Warranteed". Above Iron Stone China, it possibly says Elkin Knight & Co.
Because it's white on white, I doubt it won't show up with a macro pic.
I have no idea why the Flow Blue type dots are there.
Thanks again to all, for the information.

rush2112 , I think you've got a bocce ball there , dude .

Thanks for that, I think you are correct.
To be honest, I have never heard of the game of Bocce, then again, I am not Italian.

Can anyone identify this object?
I have almost ruled out a cannon ball and shot-put.
My only guess is it's a project of a machinest to proove his abilities.
All other guesses most welcome.

Can you give us a close-up shot of the hallmark on the bottom plus any additional hallmarks it may have? Have you identified the pattern? I'm guessing you may have if you have already identified the bowl as 1820's.

Thanks for the quick replies from everyone.Here is a close-up of the hallmark.It reads Elkin Knight & Co. and I assume the 1822-26 Company.
I gave it a sponge bath in water and some sunlight detergent but the yellowing appears to be permanent.
Am I correct to assume it sat somewhere with other dishes piled in it, possibly in a smokers house?
