Topic: Help ID this Studio Glass Bowl Possibly WMF

[mhgcgolfclub]

Help please to ID this studio glass footed bowl.

My first thought was maybe WMF or possibly Loetz Schaumglas.
I also think Benny Motzfeldt made similar looking pieces.
I think it could date back to the 1930's, lots of wear to base.

The bowl seems to have a folded rim and has left 2 open air bubbles to the rim , one which can be seen in picture.
Diameter 6"
Height 2.75"
Weight 536gm.

Thanks Roy

Hi Roy,

Your bowl looks very much like WMF Ikora-Medusa. But the 1931 WMF catalogue says that Medusa is lemon yellow in colour. In the book by Burschel & Scheiffele on page 122, pattern number 70/3450 is very like your little bowl. The book doesn't give the size, but the proportions look right. Page 116 there is a better picture of Medusa and it is very like your bowl. But, as you say, Medusa and Loetz Schaumglas can be confused.

Hope this helps.

Anton
