12 Vintage antique glass bowls with golden rims. There are two sets: eight are slightly more rounded with a thin gold edge and the other four have more pronounced golden rims.
These bowls are from the so-called White House, a gabled house that was built in 1929 by Jack van Breda on the farm Oudekraal, on the beautiful piece of pristine coast between Bakoven and Llandudno in Cape Town. The house eventually became the well-known 12 Apostles Hotel. A rich English spinster, Emily Bolton, bought the property in 1955 and lived a strange solitary live with her lover, a Mr. Butcher. The bowls belonged to Ms. Bolton, and when, long after her demise, the property was eventually sold to an advertising agency in 1986, the contents went on auction where these bowls were sold. They have since not been used.
