Chunky ribboned trefoil bowl - help needed for identification please.
kmax70:
I was given this bowl for Christmas and would like to be able to say what it is. It measures approx. 6.5 ins (16.5cm) across by 3.25 ins (8.5cm) deep. The glass is at least 1 cm thick, and there are coloured stripes of blue, green and yellow ribboned through it cased in clear glass. My first thought was early Caithness. The base is also trefoil shaped and is flat with lots of scratches across it.

Picture of the base might help,can't say I've ever seen anything like that from Caithness,Czech or Italy maybe,Keith.
kmax70:
Picture of base as requested. No etching on it, just a lot of wear scratches. The edges of the base are slightly beveled. The bowl weighs over 1.5 kilos, so it is very chunky glass. The grooves between the lobes suggest an elaborate ashtray. There has obviously been a maker's label attached to the outside of the bowl, but this has unfortunately been removed. KathleenM.
