Mauve Bowl with Bubbles
« on: March 01, 2008, 06:44:49 AM »
Hi, I also just bought this.  It is a mauve colored bowl, with bubbles.  The Bubbles start out small, and do get bigger towards the top.  The bottom seems to show some wear -- but then what do I know....lol.  :spls2:

Any ideas at all as to who, and the year?  TIA.  ;)

Rose:  Probably impossible to attribute this one with any certainty because quite few people made bowls like this.  Not to insult the bowl, but there's nothing to distinguish it as being from any one maker. Guesses in order of possibility: Murano, Swedish, North American.

The bubbles change in size where the glass has expanded the most in the blowing process. Th bubbles are created by rolling the parison across a spiked bed or putting it into a mould with spikes on the side. When additional glass is added to the parison, that creates bubbles. I take even bubbles to indicate quality. Look a Venini or Seguso bullicante glass, for example.

PS. I should add that the bowl I have like this I have regarded as being generic Murano.
