Default Practice lettering?

We just purchased a pretty little pink bowl at the goodwill store and my husband (in his usual combing over of every tiny bit of the surface) discovered that inside the pink/white coloring, the alphabet and numbers (a-z and 0-9) are very faintly but very definitely written around the edges. my husband think it was someone's "practice" piece... has anyone ever heard of this?

i'm not sure that it'll show up in the photos - we were holding up to the light and also put a black background

That is so cool. I've never seen it on another of these bowls, but I haven't looked. These types of bowls usually have either Crystal Clear or Lavorazione Arte Murano stickers on them. I'm not sure where they are made.

I went to your picasa web site to see the image bigger but still did not see the lettering you mention. Can it be seen in these pics, if so where?

Nice collection by the way

I also could not see it, so you are not alone. I guess it is one of those hands on things.

Anita & cubby - if you look around the edges of the photos surrounding the pic of the whole bowl, thats where the lettering appears - (it's much easier to see hands on but still shows in the photo)
