Price: $2,650.00

Description:

T.G. Hawkes & Co. was the acknowledged master in the production of the blown-out bowl.  The esthetic appeal of these shapes and the quality of their blanks are considered to be superior to those of any other cutting houses.  Several of Hawkes' blown-out shapes are shown in the first Hawkes catalog (an ACGA reprint).  This particular bowl is cut on a 'No.462' blank and is shown on page 26.  The design is unnamed, however.

The bowl is 11-inches wide, 3 1/4-inches tall and weighs 6.2-lbs.  The blank is very white and very clear.  The quality, the extreme thickness of the blank and the complexity of the shape make this a rare and desirable display piece for any collection.
