Three interesting items - two small rose bowls and a pink [opalescent?] dish. The bowls are examples of cranberry opalescent lattice-work. Both have snapped pontils. Not sure where they could have been made - Europe or America? The dish is small and has some guilding of a branch with small flowers - there is a repeated series of groups of white dots, which I suspect suggests its Bohemian origins. It has a small, solid crystal pedestal foot with a broken pontil. It may have sat in a metal frame. The height of the slightly larger rose bowl is 7.5 cms while the dish is about 18 cms long and height 5 cms. The dish is nicely ruffled, and pinched in the middle - perhaps to accommodate a handle fitted to the metal frame? I thought they were very typical of Victorian glass work. Update - The decoration [pine needle] on the pink dish is featured on the Loetz website on a pink salt cellar and a two handled vase - numbers 36.02; 36.03; 36.05 and 36.06
