Title: Uranium Glass 'Shell' Bowl...
Post by: kane_u_pain on July 24, 2010, 12:47:53 AM
Another one I am keeping.  ;D Gorgeous uranium glass bowl. Unfortunately has a crack in it but I am not selling it anyway. I know I am not likely to find a maker for it but any thoughts are welcome?  ;D

 :hiclp: Gorgeous !!!!
 
My guess again would be either Fratelli Toso or Alfredo Barbini......leaning more towards Barbini ????   

Or is this the similar shape here on Ebay Venetian Glass ??  (http://cgi.ebay.com/MURANO-Gold-SILVER-195Os-INCREDIBLE-Glass-BOWL-w-Label-/370401332107?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item563da3cb8b)  So maybe Venetian ??

But a  :thup: on the piece you have, I would keep too even If it has a crack - Lovely !!

That piece is gorgeous. I had a similar bowl years ago in red, bullicante and silver foil. Unfortunately I accidently broke it in 2  :cry:. Good to see that one has a label and is one of the better labels too!

Unfortunately my piece is a common murano shape but I do think it is by one of the better makers. It wouldn't suprise me if this bowl had the exact label as that one on ebay. I have gorgeous orange bullicate piece in the same shape as this that has that label.

Yikes, that scary - that I can now (sometimes) manage to find pieces for a bit of an ID............but then again, I can be so far out in left field, I would not even be on Earth  :spls2:

Your Orange one is also a  :thup:
