<p>[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 357317, member: 55"]It does look to me like there are lathe-marks; and while it is possible to lathe-turn a bowl so it is oval, it is not easy or common, and would leave the foot oval; and the foot here looks round. The kind of shrinkage I'm thinking of would not necessarily make it sit unevenly on either top or bottom; but the bowl would shrink differently with the grain as opposed to cross-grain. I've known that kind of shrinkage to be much more pronounced than one would expect, on bowls that obviously had started out round. Since the foot looks round, that suggests to me that the bowl may well have started out round also.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
