I need help Identifying this Multi-Colored glass bowl, it's been in my family for generations, my mom's in her mid 60's and got it from her grandmother, and she doesn't even know where it came from.
From what I can tell there is no Markings on it to indentify the creator, it looks too elaborate to have been home-made. please help, Included is a picture taken from the top, the bottom, and from the side, on top of a white shirt as to not hide any color.
(Appears I can only upload 4 images per item hmm, well let me figure out which to put)
Chribska is a definite possibility. That third shot is great. Does it have a concave ground pintail on the base or is it flat?
Give me a few minutes I'll post more pics... I'll try to explain this as best as I can with what I'm going to take a picture of, I'll try to capture the bottom of how it's shaped, there's a bottom to the bowl that looks completely flat, but if you take a clsoe look there's actually a slightly raised "circular flat area" that's seperate from the rest of the bottom of the bowl.
Pardon .... Not pintail but 'pontil'.
That raised area is what I was meaning.
I take it, that it's a one of a kind, or was there one made and then many more hand crafted in the same exact design... Can anyone say how old it is, or when it was made, is it a rarer more sought after piece? Should I not put it out in the open etcetc....
Hi, look it is probably from the sixties or seventies. No older. The possible makers are from Murano, Czechoslovakia and even Canada. It is a production piece rather than a unique item.
Agree with vetraio, but I must say, the pics here aren't that helpful. Could you post one of the piece from the top, one from the side, and one or two of the base without the ruler in the way? Looks like a nice piece of glass!
@katherinescollections, I had those exact pictures up before you want to see, but this site only allowed me to show 4 at a time... I'll take these 4 down and put those ones back up for you though.
Okay I took those 4 photos down and re-added the previous ones for you. the ones from top, bottom and direct side may be lower resolution though.
Yes, lovely piece of glass, as I suspected, now that it's uncovered. :)
