Help..who made this art glass bowl? - ID = Made in China
Sandra:
Mine measures 4 1/4" wide & the glass is 1" thick. Atoll or not?
alexander:
The smallest Atoll bowl is 4 3/8", or 110 mm.
The profile of your bowl doesn't seem to match the Atoll bowl.
Kosta does give en email address on their site so you could try emailing as Frank and Cathy suggested.
Swedes speak excellent english.
a40ty:
100% not Atoll.
Cathy B:
I think can go one better....
Does everyone agree that this looks like Sandra's? I bought it yesterday in an Australian homewares shop for $AUD 9.00. There's no mention of the factory name other than that it was made in China, but the pattern is named as 'Scandia'. It does look a lot like Atoll, but when you see the two together the differences in height, weight, quality, profile, trail thickness become apparent. The base of the Chinese 'Scandia' is ground flat, whereas the base of the Atoll is moulded and concave.
Hope this helps someone!
