Found this in a flea market, know it must be real old. Has anyone seen one of these before?

What a cool find.. it has an art glaze which almost always contains lead, so it`s probably only meant for display, and could be part of a set or larger piece... Older items usually have markings on the bottom of the piece that you can check out. You`ve got me curious about this, it`s not your average looking bowl!!

It looks like it was designed to circulate liquids, I have never seen anything like it before.

No JanElle there is no markings,but does have a little round hole that made me think that it might have had another piece to it. maybe if I took it to an antique store?? Or the Antique Roadshow??(wishing lol)

If it has a small opening it would be part of a larger piece, and unfortunately, only the bottom piece of a set would have a marking on it. Even though it is devalued by the fact it is part of a larger art work, I would still take it to an antique store to see if they have any idea. Well worth checking into, it`s a lovely piece. Good luck, and let us know what you find out!

Meant to add that Fred could be right about it circulating liquids... although ceramics aren`t usually designed for water fountain purposes because of their fragility and potential for leaking, you never know.

there is no holes where these things that looks like arms come down on either side. Dont know the purpose for those things, but yes I sort of think that it had something else with it ,a bigger piece.

First of all, glad to see you posting Syble! This is a most unusual bowl. I have never seen anything quite like it. I would definitely take it to at least 3 antique dealers and get their opinions. I LOVE the bowl!
