i love this bowl when held to a strong light source it glows on fire. the ruby coloring is only on the top interior edge otherwise the bowl is truly opalescent hand painted flowers and then gold applied leaf and vine pattern. the pontil is mostly polished. this meas. approx 10.75"Dia. x 3"T.
Victorian Brides Bowl or Basket...Webb maybe ? Beautiful piece !!!
very beautiful:)
The ruby edges are very nice indeed!
Still looking for information on this piece ... any help is appreciated! TIA
Hi, i still have been searching but no maker or pattern confirmed. Any help is appreciated. Thank You :)
IMHO.. During the Victorian period a lot of silver co. made stands of silverplate metal. Then bought the glass tops for their stands from a glass company....called brides bowl or basket. Look up Victorian Brides Basket you may see your glass top there.
P.S. Most glass tops for brides baskets were never marked.
thanks moonhill... i did what you said when i aquired the bowl and came up with nothing even similar to the decoration but i have seen a few with the same opaline ruby near the edge
