Please help ID large amber bowl with House Martins
« on: February 21, 2009, 03:30:42 PM »
Help please to ID this quite large amber bowl decorated around the edge with what look like 6 House Martins, very similar to a Barolac bowl that I once had but do not think this is, the underside of the bowl has a textured feel to it, there is some scratching to the inside of the bowl looks like it may have been caused by a flower frog, the bowl measures 11" in diameter or 26 cm , height 3" or 7 cm and weighs 1.9 kg

many thanks Roy

Die Erfahrung lehrt, dass, wer auf irgendeinem Gebiet zu sammeln anfängt, eine Wandlung in seiner Seele anheben spürt. Er wird ein freudiger Mensch, den eine tiefere Teilnahme erfüllt, und ein offeneres Verständnis für die Dinge dieser Welt bewegt seine Seele.
Experience teaches that anyone who begins to collect in any field can feel a change in his soul. He becomes a joyful man filled with a deeper empathy, and a more open understanding moves his soul.
Alfred Lichtwark (1852-1914)

No idea of maker, but the bowl is shown in a Jules lang advert along with a Brockwitz fish handled bowl as discussed here: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,11232.0.html
