I love these bowls so much work went into them. I'm not sure how the small lines on the outside are formed but in some places they have been chipped off, were they added on or molded? As is common this one is also missing it's metal stand and has a small chip on the end of one of the "petals" but at $5 from the Hospice Shop it was a no brainer. 130mm wide x 75mm high.

I would have gladly snapped this up at $5 - well done!
The threading is applied, machine threading is the official term. A device spun out a long, extremely thin thread of glass, which was applied the item whilst it was being rotated. This was previously done by hand but the machine threading gives a perfectly evenly sized & spaced result. The original patent for this technique was by William J. Hodgetts in 1876, a partner at the firm of Hodgetts, Richardson & Son. Later, other versions of machine threading were used by Stevens & Williams, Stuart & Sons, Thomas Webb & Sons, etc.
Thanks for the info Marin!
