[QUOTE="Mansons2005, post: 4729, member: 121"]It is 5.5" tall by 12" in diameter and weighs exactly 6 pounds! I realize that this is a long shot, but does anyone have any insight into this large bowl? It is crafted of thick pottery with what appears to be under-glaze painted decoration and (once had) thick gold trim on the rim. The flowers give me a 1930's vibe, but i am sure it is older than that. Now it is faded and has a LOT of crazing. The foot ring (?) is rather rough and unglazed. It was used by my father and his mother before him as a punch bowl for eggnog - Gram said that eggnog looked like mucus when served in glass, so pottery was the only way she would serve it. And in reality, the bowl looks a bit fancy to have been designed for utilitarian kitchen purposes. Any thoughts? [ATTACH=full]885[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
