Hi all,

Hopefully my heading says most of what I want to know.

The colour of this bowl attracted me and I thought of Davidson cloud glass when I saw the shape but of course it isnt cloud glass. Ive looked on a few Davidson and Walther websites and they both made this similar style, but I didnt find any of theirs listed in a solid colour. Any other suggestions as to who it might be? I bought it as a float bowl so if anyone can confirm that and let me know whether it just has a frog or frog and centrepiece?
It measures 24cm across the top by 9.5cm high.

Hi Trudy
I would say Davidson. I have some examples of these bowls in non cloud colours. Take a look at www.cloudglass.com this site has a lot of info about Davidson glass in general.

Lustrousstone:
Looks like a Davidson to me, although I can't spot the model number at a quick glance. Davidson didn't make centrepieces but a bowl like this probably had a domed frog and maybe a plinth. Davidson seems to have made many of its designs over many years and in whatever colour, cloud or plain, was fashionable. I suspect the teal was more toward the middle of the 20th century

selina:
Thanks Tony, Christine. I had a look at that site. Walther apparently made one in a similar style too.

Christine I just could NOT describe the colour properly...TEAL !!! THANK YOU :)

Hi,

it is a Davidson S696D and judging by the colour a post WWII version., probably early 1960s.

Regards

Chris
