Sowerby Blue Ruffle Edge Bowl
This lot is a Sowerby blue ruffle edge bowl, a small decorative glass bowl with a deeply scalloped, frilled rim. The body is formed in a vivid blue glass with a lustrous, iridescent sheen across its surface. The interior is moulded with a central star motif surrounded by fine diamond-point and bead-style patterning, with the pattern extending up towards the wavy edge. The bowl is a compact piece suited to display or to use as a trinket or dressing table dish.
Condition and Collectability
The bowl appears to be in good overall visual order, with no obvious chips or cracks evident to the naked eye, and the ruffled rim appears intact. Prospective buyers are advised to inspect the piece in person and to make their own enquiries before bidding, as no further condition details can be confirmed here. Originality of the moulded pattern and colour is consistent with the attribution given. The combination of the vivid blue colouring, the iridescent finish and the detailed star-centred pattern is likely to appeal to collectors of pressed and moulded glassware, as well as those seeking a striking small piece for a display cabinet.
