This emerged from recent sorting out in the garage. The pedestal is hollow and open to the bowl. The base is dished but also has a neatly ground but not polished pontil mark. The eight sides look to have been formed by hand, certainly not moulded.
Diameter at rim, point to point, 25cm. 10 inches
Amazing what can be found in a garage clean up. Fabulous !!!
Looks a lot like a Kralik piece.
vetraio50, Amazing yes, but worrying when you don't remember buying them! Thanks for the fabulous.
John2Nhoj, thanks, but I think the way it's made will go against Kralik.
What a super piece to fall for all over again! The decor reminds me of this vase I posted a while back (a maker was not resolved, despite all the debate it unleashed)

Marin, If spatter décors hadn't been included they'd have had a much smaller exhibition...............
Ha! Well said! :-)
By the way, I've been looking at pics of various Czech comport bowls here & there, could there be an outside chance it is Welz?
Great piece and the color is perfect for Halloween.
Marin, I always thought it was Czech but got no further. It was attributed to Bruder Frankel by Ales Kral, in a Facebook group recently. The way the octagonal rim is formed wasn't typical of either Welz or Kralik. And it's been boxed away for years.
dav2no1, maybe but I put the sweeties out early then disappear.
