[Illustration: 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.]
[Illustration: 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. In the Author's collection.]
[Illustration: Shallow diamond-cut WATERFORD REVOLVING CENTRE DISH, 18
in. by 6 in. The glass all fits together without any metal mounting.
_Circa_ 1783. In the Hon. Mrs. York's collection.]
