[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 321160, member: 84"]Hi all, I got this at a auction for a antique store that was going out of business. I liked it from the moment I saw it, but I'm hoping I didn't pay too much - after losing a WWi - WWII airplane gunner's sight & a WWII German naval ship's compass to a grumpy old man next to me, I decided he wasn't going to get this piece - and bid with him till he suddenly stopped at $70 & it was mine! But now I'm wondering if the grumpy old man was a cagey old man who dropped it on me after he got me to go to high?! What was such a highly carved bowl used for? Art - or for actual use? It measures 3.5" high x 6.5" wide Can anyone tell me who the artist name is? Or where I can find someone to translate the name? As always I appreciate your help!
