Gorgeous twisted end bowl murano? czech? any ideas
« on: July 19, 2009, 06:55:58 PM »
Hi there
picked this gorgeous bowl up today for £7 at a car boot sale. The colours look beautiful together, the lower part of the bowl is a pale blue with a cranberry pink top all cased in clear glass. The ends of the bowl have been twisted. The base is smooth and well polished signs of wear and age.
My guess would be 1960's/70's Murano? but could be czech, or something else? so im not sure does anybody think different or have any other info
16.5cms wide 9cms in height, from end of twist to end of twist 32cms in length weighs just over 2kg. Very well made and nice quality.
many thanks
michelle

Michelle:

I vote Murano. The base and the twisted ends don't seem like Czech to me. And it looks kind of like of Murano. (How's that for persuasive attribution?)
