Very nice, I like the beads on the rim. I can’t help thinking though that it would look good if it had a similar size bead as a foot, the present one looks a bit big.

Nice work. Love the rim detail, especially the crisp line of the inner 'step' :)

Nice and very pleasing. 

I like that the chucking points are just incorporated in the design.

Nice clean looking bowl but why did you leave the centre point in the base. Just lets it down a tad.

Nice bowl, nice effect, only turners would notice the base is not 100%  ;) One observation I would make is if the step between the inside bead and the bowl was just cut back to remove the embellishing wax on that one small area I think it would have quite a dramatic effect on the whole.

I like the top a good design and the silver wax gives it 'just enough' visual interest. The underside I'm a little less enthusiastic about, a nice sweeping ogee shape would have worked and not given the bowl/applied rim effect.

Having said that it is not my work so I must appreciate the level of effort you've put into the design and the excellent work you've done with finishing it.
Oh Lord, Lead me not into temptation…

thank you all for your comments. I will take on board what you have all said about this bowl and incorporate it in the next one I do like this. I like the idea of the foot the way you are saying to do.
