Topic: Art Deco Bowl with Lady Handles

[auliya]

Good morning :-)

firstly, I am having all sorts of trouble registering on the glass gallery photo site to add my photos and I have given up, so I hope photobucket links will be okay.

I have recently acquired this bowl and I am hoping someone might know or have an idea who may have made it. It is on the Pressglas website, under "unknown" in centrepieces. Thanks in advance for any help. It is 13.5 inches long overall including handles and 5.5 inches wide

regards

It looks recognisable to those who collect this kind of glass. If you do a board search you will easily find the pressed glass websites run by GMB member Pamela, that ought to have this piece shown on them somewhere. Equally other searches could show this piece on another old GMB thread,
Also, attributions can take weeks or years for attribution on this site, but this one may take less than a week,

best of luck!

Thanks for your reply and suggestions. It is on Pamela's website, but not attributed, as noted in my original post. I was hoping that someone may have found out something more recently. I will do a further search of the board - you never know your luck :-)

Apologies Auliya,
I did not read your post properly, I thought you were just posting very hopefully expecting an instant reply (it sometimes happens!) Rereading more carefully, it appears you have tried pretty hard to look into the origin of this piece. I really am surprised that such a striking, distinctive design is without attribution. Knowing it is on the pressglas website is some help, but not having an attribution there also tells you it must be a piece struggling to find an attribution. i hope you get a result..... I do not have much advice to give sadly.... colour and base shape are evidently not directing where it is from at all and I would ask where you bought it but with pressed glass, country of origin is almost no indication of manufacture .... Only a labelled example can help and maybe recording more colours, that can be a clue.......

best of luck,
