These are all Roycroft pieces collected either from auction or finding them in shops. I'm partial to the Roycroft pieces, they to me show the finest craftmanship of the major players, real works of art I think. There are others obviously Van Erp comes to mind but for the money I have to spend on this collection Roycroft gives the most bang for the buck.

First one is a low bowl with a brasswash finish, not my favorite it's most commonly displayed in my home with pinecones, mainly because the inside has a bit of tarnish

Threefooted bowl, love the color on this piece, usually displayed on a contemporary Stickley tabouret, tough to keep the cats off of and makes me cringe when they get near it!

Small Roycroft vase with what I suspect is a newer patina but it was not advertised as such, still a nice form though and I like it.

Both very impressive bowls. I also acquired a three footed bowl. The patina on yours is fabulous. Mine was in atrocious shape when I found it and it now rests on our dining table.

I too like the bottom vase. Vases and bowls with edges that turn in are some of my favorites.

A collection of smaller pieces The only Roycroft piece is the candle holder in the foreground, think it is a later piece as some of the copper appears to be spun rather than pounded into shape, still I got it cheap and a nice piece. The other candlestick on the right looks to have been constructed by using tin snips and cut out and formed but it was kinda cool.

The bookend is Craftsmen Inc. #236 The floriform bowl has no markings but has the patina look and weight of a Stickley Bros. piece. The small vase is most likey contemporary.

Dano,

I pose that the floriform bowl is more likely from Pennsylvania. Check out the work of Joel Hewes. Boston bowls also have similar flutes.

Fred, Is he a contemporary craftsman? I really liked the form and weight of it. Found it locally. It has no marks at all.

Hewes worked in Titusville, Penn. during the first to mid 20th century. This fluted shape was very popular in his work.
