This is a very rare lobster footed bowl with metal rim and handle. These types of bowl gained popularity during the Victorian period through the 1940s-50s. The height of their popularity was from the late 1800s to the 1930s. The lobsters with open claws and longer antennae are very similar to ones produced by Carlton Ware and Villeroy & Boch. The markings on the bottom are as follows (they are faint, so this is the best of my ability to read them). B (possibly another number or letter after the B). Condition – the bowl is overall in good condition for the age. The lobsters are clear with no chips in the ceramic. Each lobster has small spots of paint ware on the back of their head, as well as paint ware on the tails from where the bowl sits on them. The bowl itself does have some discoloration spots and crazing, mostly on the inside of the bowl itself. The metal rim and handle have no marks or imprints, so it is likely silver plated. One side of the metal handle has come loose from the rim, but it is an easy repair. It does look like it has possibly been repaired/reattached at some point in the past. Overall it is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, or unrepairable issues. I have spent a lot of time researching this bowl. While several manufacturers had lobster footed bowls with a metal rim, one with a metal handle is much less common. I found one other example, but they were not able to definitively identify the bowl either. The bowl is 6 inches in diameter, 3.25 inches tall, the inside of the bowl is 2.25 inches deep, and the handle is approximately 3.5 inches tall it it’s highest point. This is a rare find for the antique collector. Please see photos for depiction of the actual item listed for sale. Thank you for checking out my listing!
