Girls, Girls, Girls! PLEASE....calm down! I never thought it would cause such a stir....I, too thought Consolidated, but have not seen it in any glass reference, nor when I googled Consolidated Grasshopper... it does have the quality of Lalique, but not signed, and yes, it is beautiful. The green one I saw I let get away, but THAT won't happen again...

Try googling 'Katydid' instead of grasshopper... This is 100% Consolidated....

Hello, I find a lot of katydid vases, but alas...no bowls or ashtrays.

Hello, I found it...I also found a auction result from a Consolidated Collectors Society auction, for one in the green wash, for $435.00...noted too that there were two buyers determined to own it.
