Zaneville swirl bowl CRIER!!! - 6/24/2007 10:48:27 AM    appliedlips Posts: 3508 Joined: 1/30/2005 Status: offline      Here are some pics of shards of a bowl,Josh and I dug about a week ago.It would have stood about 6 inches tall,had 24 ribs,and rolled lip.I am fairly certain it was blown in Zanesville,Oh.,in the early 1800's.I have dug peices of the swirl bottles and other early peices of midwestern tableware from this era but never a swirled bowl.I wish we could have found all the peices but only found about 1/3 of it.Any thoughts?Brian in Kent ought to know something about it.Just thought everyone might enjoy seeing the wreckage.Doug Attachment (1) < Message edited by appliedlips -- 6/24/2007 10:50:51 AM > Post #: 1
