Thank you for visiting and Welcome to this Very Special Listing !! I am delighted to offer this extremely desirable, rare John Hoare 8 inch bowl, weighing 4 pounds approximately, and reaching about 2 inches in height. The bowl has been cut in the "Hindoo" pattern. When one thinks of Hoare, usually he thinks first "Pluto" and then "Hindoo". Of course that is true because of their widespread popularity. The pattern is very well known. It is hobstar dominant: there are chains which circle the bowl, below eyebrows, often used by Hoare. The hobstars are set in diamonds. A second motif, which enhances and augments the hobstars is very detailed beading which is located below the hobstars and has been developed in several different styles. There are lateral and narrowly executed miters which are adjacent to the beading. There are clear trunks adjacent to the beading. Above the beading between each hobstar there is an area created via "X" miters. These areas are filled with strawberry diamond. The miters in the bowl are very important. They play a duel role: The are integral to the pattern and also, of course, act to surround and outline other aspects in the bowl. In the center of the bowl there is a large hobstar with a smaller hobstar cut in relief in its center. The miters and beading are located between the hobstars and the center and its hobstar center. 'Hoare used his talent well in creating "Hindoo". This pattern - this bowl - is a masterpiece. is a wonder in geometrical cutting: it is amazing that with the knowledge of geometry, Hoare was able to envision this, and then create it on paper and transfer the creation to cut glass. The bowl phosphoresces lime green under black light. Brief Summary of the most notable aspects: The bowl was produced on a thick brilliant blank. It is clear and radiant. The miters are enhanced and have the appearance of beveled glass: providing dominant dimension in the design. Hand cutting. and polishing were of course givens in a bowl of this quality. The pattern is intact. There are two teeth that are imperfect but the pattern is so beautiful and the cutting so outstanding, the faults are barely perceptable and display hardly effected. Radiance, Refraction, Reflective qualities - the best. Resonance: Lingering, melodious, very long lasting Symmetry and Balance: The Developmental stages prior to cutting are obvious in that near-perfection in art-design- have been achieved. The edgimg and underside compliment the design. Both appear to be perfect. The underside appears the same as the front side. A fully cut design, complete in all aspects.
