My words today are taken from Beth Hoffman's Looking For Me.
Repousee'- Shaped or decorated with patterns in relief formed by hammering and pressing on the reverse side. Used especially of metal.
Monteith bowl- The bowl rests on a foot-ring or splayed-foot and is usually decorated with gadrooning, embossing vertical fluting.
Sounds like someone has some nice dinnerware! Great new words.
ReplyDeleteThankfully the pictures helps it all to make sense :-)
ReplyDeleteThree new words for me too. That bowl is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteOh - gadrooning was in the book I was reading too (Stealing with Style). There's so much to learn about antiques!
ReplyDeleteThose are all new to me too!
