    Description

    Appraiser Notes: Skullduggery? Hard to say. Let me describe: Both finger holds have solder flow inside them. In very good light, with a loupe, it is possible to see remnants of English marks namely the cartouches and possibly initials RG. The bowl's interiors are heavily scratched, and there is flow there as well-this is where ST can be seen-partially, at least.So guesswork is in the works with these-many options to consider; Were these brought to America and Tingley, after the revolution, took out the English marks? The flow is a coverup not a repair. What do you think??
