Not sure where to start with this one....ground polished pontil, put together very skilfully. 6" tall and 6" across.

Hi there:
Not sure what the technique is called, but I thought I had seen something like it on the Net.  I *think* what I saw was referred to a "Lace, or Laced Glass"....IMHO, if I remember correctly.

Nice Bowl there !!  :thup:

Can't find aything similar on the net.....only thing I see with a similar applied lace edge are referred to as bride's banks

[antiquerose123]

Just a guess.....but here are just some pics that I was *thinking* of in relation to your bowl -- just the lace design idea....Samples ONLY on for the lace design (not for a maker....)

Maybe there is another name that goes by -- I was just referring to what I had seen via the net that remind me of it....Someone else may know better.

Think the technique is called 'caged', pretty sure its Murano, I have a piece, I think of very good quality and seen several more over the years.  Seen a couple of older pieces, well executed, so I think its quite a traditional technique and a few of the age of yours and mine and a few fairly hideous and badly executed ones.  Yours and mine I would guess would be 60s ish.  Mine has always reminded me of that time period anyway.  I do not, but would love to know the maker.

Mine is a rosebowl, shape of a pear, about 6 -7 inch diameter, clear crystal glass caging with clear leaf finial above.  Really traditional Murano shape!  Think you are meant to stick flowers through the caging and into the attached, solid bowl below.  The way the glass has been stitched on to the bowl (the bottom of the pear) is incredible!  The bottom is red, dusted with gold dust, forgotten what the Italian term for this is. 

Have to say I have always been on the lookout for othes with attribution!  The person I bought it from swore it was Venini (she would wouldn't she) if correct, I had always wondered about Zuccheri!

can't find 'caged' in my books jinxi - and not sure what you mean by - stitched on to the bowl .  Regret I don't know how this effect is produced - is it mechanical or hot worked.?     Other similar forms of decoration have been popular since the C18 ....such as .......hand made 'basketwork' that imitated woven wicker........Sowerby, who prodcuced their 'pierced' plates in slag glass by pressing.     But Thomas's 'diatreta' is, apparently, created by cutting back through thick glass (the cutters were called diatretarii) - so this bowl not that method.     Tiffany used it (diatreta) as pure hand worked decoration on some 'favrille' pieces, and Gulliver shows examples with this effect on both the top and bottom of C19 art glass, and calls it 'stylized trellis work' - which sounds o.k. - and similar to the attached pic. - which also hand applied I believe.   Hope there is not too much objection to my pic.
The piercing on the blue bowl looks very symmetrical - therefore possibly machine made??

machine made ? never ever  :sm:

I'm sure I would defer to your expertise any day Thomas  -  which is why I didn't go in too heavy with my suggestion. :wsh:
