In Major Pope's collection.
Very large early Irish Moulded Bowl. It rings exactly like a bell. Deep coloured and very soft glass. No duplicate known. Date 1760.
In Mrs. Rea's collection.
A wonderful early "Pinched" Bowl, showing the remarkable "rainbow" band of faint colour running round the body. The foot is square and moulded in a "dome." Note that the waste metal running from the square base has not been cut away, proving that this piece, for some reason unknown, has been left unfinished. There is no trace of "milkiness" about this bowl. The small one (3 in. high) beside it is a traveller's sample, made this minute size for convenience in carrying about.
