<p>[QUOTE="wenna, post: 140093, member: 541"]Very heavy cut glass bowl (ABP?), simple cane pattern with Gorham sterling rim. The bowl is 5.25" high and 10" across. It has 2 horrendous cracks and would fall apart into 3 pieces if not for the rim. The rim is why I bought this in the first place. First, it is sterling (by Gorham if I am reading the marks correctly...I think mid-20th century, but not sure). Secondly, it is decorated with fox (or wolf) heads amidst grape clusters!!! There are 6 of these motifs. I want to at least salvage the rim (I believe there is no hope for the bowl itself). But, is there any value in the 'intact' bowl given its condition? I keep telling myself No; am I correct in this? I didn't include pictures of the entire bowl because the cracks are just so horrifying (so sad). I can if you'd like to see though. What do you think of that rim?[ATTACH=full]36996[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]36997[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
