Old bowl with legs, maybe enamel on metal, any info?
« on: July 31, 2012, 09:03:24 am »
Hi, a friend of ours was throwing this out, she is in her 80's. She said it came from her mothers house, so I am assuming it could be around 100 years old.
it looks like enamel on metal , and its like a bowl with three legs. there is a pic of a bird in the bowl , and flowers all around, maybe lotus flowers?
All this info is pure speculation on my part, and I am no expert, just loves old things. Any informationb about this object would be very helpful. thanks :)
Can only post one pic, its shows inside the bowl. outside the bowl is decorative as well.

I had to make the pics smaller, so the quality isn't as good.
Oh, the bowl is about 30cms in diameter and 15 cms in height

Your bowl appears to be Majolica which is a tin glazed earthenware or pottery !!  Much majolica was made in years past and is collected today !! Difficult to say who made your bowl without a mark of some kind and a lot of it was unmarked !!

Cloisonne would have had a border around each leaf and such to hold the enamel !! This has no wire or other borders !!

Still think it is and if you look at the picture off the bottom you will see the brass base on the edge . So with better detailed pictures maybe better to see the cell's ?

I can`t see any in these pics !! Perhaps we could get better pics !!  We can only go by what we can see !!  Make your pic file size smaller so we can enlarge without distortion !! I tried enlarging these but was all a blur !!

Its still a blur when enlarged !! Your pics are over the file size limit for this site !! If you will just resize down to 2000kb we can see the details !!
