Found this at a local op shop for $4 last weekend. It does have a large crack, but who cares? For that price I could not turn down something so downright fabulous (& useful - I'm going to fill it with chocolates for Christmas).
Made from emerald green glass with a swirled pattern, it has lavish inclusions of gold leaf, & two applied "Blackamoor" heads. The bowl measures 15 cm tall, 30 cm wide, & around 10 cm across the clear, footed base. It has a rough, snapped pontil mark.
My guess is Barovier & Toso, 1950s.
Many thanks, renedijsktra,much appreciated!
