The question mark just because I know the attribution of some of these has been called into question but I think that this is a Kralik shape and size.
Slick iridescence which is almost - but not quite - mirrored.
It is 14cm high x 24cm.

That is larger than most rose bowls I have seen from Kralik! Would this have ever been caged?
Good question: Jericho seems to know a lot about that issue. The lobes do not seem far apart enough to me, and there is no evidence from West of a monture or cage ever being on. The base lends itself to the application of something... quite what, I don't know! Maybe a wire twist or similar.
Is the rim rough ground, or is it highly polished?
Rough ground.
so delicate so feminine
