Hi all
picked this up quite recently and havent been able to ID as yet,
It weighs just under 4kgs, made from fairly thick smokey coloured glass, im assuming mould blown? (i always get mixed up with those terms :pb:) the base has a slight indent and a light rippled effect.
The rim has actually been pretty well done, fully polished with an outer & inner bevelled edge which feels very clean.
It stands at 35cms and about 33cms in diameter
Any ideas as to a maker of this great big lump?

many thanks
michelle

The shape is very similiar to a Poli piece. Thankfully there is one listed for sale at the moment (350366387925). But sadly yours is not SVdA one  :'( And I must admit I don't have a clue who made this although it looks great.
