Scandinavian(?) Glass Dish - Can anyone help ID this piece
« on: September 21, 2014, 07:50:01 PM »
Hi All.  Can someone help ID this dish.  I think Scandinavian but am more than happy to be corrected.  No signature I'm afraid.  It measures 13 cms in diameter x 8 cms high and is heavy - just over 800 gms.  A really nice delicate amethyst shade.  Any help would be much appreciated.

I do not know, but my experience with Scandianvian glass is that they are rightfully proud of their quality and seem to mark their work so I would lean towards non-Scandinavian.

Agreed, Kimo.  Maybe Japanese due to the symmetry - say Hineri or Sanyu.  Or perhaps a Bohemian piece.

Hi.  I've attached an image of an 1940's Elis Bergh Kosta dish I found a little while ago that made me think this bowl was perhaps Scandinavian, mainly colour (both are a similar pale amethyst) and vaguely similar in design.  However since posting I've been trawling through Scandinavian & Czech glass - again I found a vaguely similar Josef Hospodka dish, but with no colourway to match this one, and also not similar enough.  Unless someone comes back with some pointer to a Scandinavian or Czech design I'm now pretty sure it's not from these areas.  But during my trawling I came across a couple of references to Japanese art glass so was just about to start going down that route.  I know absolutely zilch about Japanese glass, and the references I read seem to be saying that glass from the 1960's / 1970's was basically adaptations of (mainly) European designs but I'm happy to be corrected on this. Onwards to Japan and any pointers would be much appreciated.

I doubt your Ellis Burgh has a flat base.  He is usually dished in the centre.

True.  But then I done some browsing on Japanese Glass and have found this in the Glass message Board from 2009

id-ed as Hineri (there was a label on the piece).  Unfortunately no image of the base, but I have now seen some others Hineri dishes that show a flat polished base.  Looks a good match to me.

Nice bowl.  However it is signed and as you say the base is 'flatish'.  Mine is virtually sheer much more like Czech glass and no marks or remnants of labels at all.  I'm still trawling through web sites and books but found nothing so far that is as near to it as the Japanese Hineri dish I found (see previous post).  Thanks for the help - does anyone know of any good reference books for Japanese glass?

Nevermind, I'm probably wrong.
