A Kate Harris for William Hutton & Sons two handled dish
Price: £2,250
A lovely example of Kate Harris work for William Hutton & Sons. This form of bowl appears in a number of Kate Harris styles but this seems to be the rarer and most original version from one of her earliest design patterns. This design was registered by Huttons in 1899, registration number 332249. A variant on this bowl can be found in the Victoria & Albert Museum silver room, case 16, reference CIRC 156-1965.
As can be seen in the contemporary image reproduced from the German publication “Der Modern Stil” in “other images”, a bowl similar to this was displayed at the Paris Exhibition, 1900.
The glass is hand blown and old but I do not think original. By arrangement I am happy to have a green insert replacement glass liner made if that is preferred. Condition overall is excellent.
