<p>[QUOTE="Grateful, post: 2754043, member: 11100"]Good afternoon and hope all is well. I recently acquired this bowl at an auction for $7.50 not really knowing anything about it. I didn't have time to decipher the signature I saw until I got home. Anyway, while it caught my eye and wouldn't mind keeping it, I am considering putting it up for sale. The signature etched in the bottom is R. Anatra and identical to others that I've seen online. I've found similar bowls (not his) and images of his work (that range from fairly simple to more involved and have high - by my standards - asking prices, but no images like this one.) </p><p><br /></p><p>This weighs 9.6 lbs (heavy!), and measures 10" across, 8" top-to-bottom, and 4" tall.
