10"D X 9"H SIZED BLANK IS BLOWN AND EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAR. THE HOBSTARS HAVE THE LOOK AND QUALITY ONE WOULD EXPECT TO FIND ON SINCLAIRE OR HAWKES GLASS, WHILE THE PATTERN IS DISTINCTIVE AND SHARPLY CUT. COLLAR HAS EXTRA QUALITY CLEAR CENTER HOBSTARS. I FOUND DOCUMENTATION FOR THE PATTERN IN THE FIRST PEARSON ENCYCLOPEDIA, SHOWN ON A LAMP.
PEARSON DID NOT GIVE A PATTERN NAME. ADDITIONAL DESCRIPTION WAS FOUND ON THE ACGA WEBSITE FOR GUNDY CLAPPERTON COMPANY. INFORMATION STATED PATTERN WAS LISTED IN THE 1912 CATALOG AS "HOBSTAR" ON A BOWL (SEE PHOTOS FOR BOTH). THERE IS ONE TOOTH CHIP SHOWN ON A BASE TOOTH. ABOUT 1/2 OF TOOTH IS MISSING.
HOWEVER, ONE CANNOT SEE IT UNLESS BASE IS OVERTURNED AND STUDIED. REST OF PIECE IS VERY FINE CONDITION.
A UNIQUE FEATURE IS THE DIFFERENT CUTTING ON THE TOP VERSUS THE PUNCH BOWL BASE. AT FIRST I WASN'T SURE IT WAS A MATCH; HOWEVER, IT IS A MATCH FOR SURE WITH THE CUTTING DIFFERENCES IMAGINATIVE.
ALTHOUGH TOP AND BASE HAVE A DIFFERENT LOOK. THERE ARE MATCHING MOTIFS, TOP VS BASE. ONE MOTIF IS A LARGE VERTICAL CLEAR POINTED PANEL ON THE BASE WHICH EXACTLY MATCHES THE SMALL ONES ON THE TOP. THERE ARE OTHER MATCHING MOTIFS AS WELL AS EXACTLY THE SAME HOBSTAR WORK. CONSIDER THIS PIECE FOR A COLLECTION.IT HAS A GREAT BLANK AND CUTTING AND IMAGINATIVE, MATCHING WORK FOR TOP AND BASE. IF THE ITEM IS NOT AMERICAN ORIGIN, OR CUT LATER THAN THE BRILLIANT PERIOD, I WILL INCLUDE THIS INFORMATION IN THE DESCRIPTION.
