This is the first ever Troika Bowl of Fruit that was produced, the second
Troika bowl of fruit is also listed on this site. I’m fortunate enough to own two that were purchased several years apart. They are amongst some of the rarest pieces that Troika produced with only five being made.
This piece is produced by
Julian Greenwood Penny and is marked as such...TJ1 (Troika, Julian Greenwood Penny No1) in what appears to be green crayon.
Both bowls of fruit, as can be seen from the photos, vary regarding quantity of fruit and glaze colour to the bowl. It is only my assumption but I’m presuming the other three that should/may still be in existence, all vary to some degree, whether that be in the colour of glaze, quantity of fruit, or both.
Incidentally, when the seller purchased this from David Lay's auction house in Nov 1998 he was told by Julian Greenwood Penny himself that the other four Bowls of Fruit were sent overseas.
