I recently found this bowl at an antique mall. I know what it is, but it is not what I thought it was when I bought it and it surprised me when I found out it's identity.

Small oval bowl

green applied threading

Bottom

The bowl is 5 inches long, 3 inches wide, and 2½ inches deep. It has a cut and polished edge and no pontil mark seen on bottom.

Who do you think made it?

Lötz? (Stab in the dark :shock: )

The irregular and 'free' shape of the bowl doesn't look like the product of a factory. It looks more like something I would expect from a small studio maker (mid-late 20th C).

No, both guesses wrong. Not Loetz and it is not a studio artist piece.

Must be a Fenton special then. :?: :?: :shock:

No, it is not Fenton. Although I can see why you think that since I am known as the Fenton Maven :wink:

Whitefriars?

No, David. I thought it might be English when I saw it.

It is very high quality glass.

I'll give a hint. It is North American circa 1930s.

In which case, I seem to recall seeing something similar by Steuben.

Ding, ding, ding!! You win the prize, David :lol:

It has the fleu-de-lis and Steuben in a banner acid etch mark.

I only saw the mark after I had it home and was photographing it.
