Footed bowl 2058 CL?

I have this bowl plus another one in shades of brown that looks very similar except it has a scalloped top rim and no number. Is it CL and what would it have been for? Number on bottom is 2058(?)



base

I don't have a clue sorry Thelma .....
Perhaps it was made as a fruit bowl?
I keep getting the word comport powering through my head and can't shake that word ?

That is the word that I thought of too Ev, but the bowl is only the size of a sugar bowl. Perhaps someone will know from the number.
Anyway, it is just another of the curios that resides here. Thanks.

The 2058 came out of Titian and was called a "Footed Bowl". It has a bigger sibling in the 2057. These bowls were made in June 1976.

The couple of hundred dollars photocopying from the Auckland Museum is worth its weight in gold!!

I'll say, thanks heaps Heather. If I go to Auckland again a trip to the museum is definitely on the cards. In the meantime I will have to call on you occasionally to help with some ID. I will also post a picture of the other footed bowl but as it does not have anything except Made in New Zealand it may be more difficult to identify.

Post it and we shall see - I have limited numbers of sketches too..

Heather Feather is our top identifier thanks to her foresight and outlay

I have only the two New Zealand Pottery books plus a small one on Timaru pottery I bought from the Oamaru Museum when I viewed the Temuka collection there, plus a large book called Craft New Zealand which has given me some info on the top craft potters here. I am always looking for more input

Hahaa I just came across Thelma's 2058 post while looking for something else
