Top heavy unusual geometrical Open Bowl .... Unmarked

Although this isnt marked it's so unusual in design that i'm hopeful it could be recognised, very skillfully potted (but really dodgy standing) bought a while ago in an auction up in north yorkshire,











I think it's gorgeous (if only it was more stable)..   I'd love to find out who made it

Now that is nice! Made by a skilled potter. But stylistically it is not a show out piece.Looks to have some bit of age. Maybe 70's?

It must have sat in some kind of stand, or?

I kinda know what you mean philp, but i looked at it again and i thought at the right angle it is pretty showy, i love the geometry - i tried it with a stand but it lost so much aesthetic of the form that i dont like it with one...  i've a few pots and there is something about this one that i think the potter just absolutely nailed it, it may be my photographic skills haven't quite captured it right...



perhaps that's a better angle. :)

I don't think I expressed  myself very well there!  By stylistically, I meant in terms of identification. As a piece its lovely. But as to who made it?

I agree with philpot that it has some age and, if it is from the 1970s, which is likely then it could be meant to be hung in a macrame type harness, singly or with others of different sizes.

Hi 

Just a thought

very similar shape bowl to Robin Welch ? 
but looks like part of the foot of the bowl is missing 

But either way stunning :)

Sorry, but I do not think it is Robin Welch. Just completely different actual glazing. Robin Welch did indeed make some narrow based bowls, but they were all very balanced.

Probably just a coincidence, and doesn’t have her bright colours, but Gill Bramley also makes pots with narrow bases
