Blue cut to amber bowl - Czech? Val st Lambert?
« on: August 01, 2010, 02:59:42 PM »
I apologize for my description of this very heavy bowl.  It has a fire polished rim and cut out shapes.  Blue to amber cut out.
The maker I presume can be ascertained straight away from the disney shaped face (see the lower part of the bowl).  The base is like a shallow stand and then flat polished with age related wear.  I was told this was from the 1960's.  Does anyone recognise this please.  Bought from an English family here in France (rather wet France at the moment).
Many thanks
Margi

Also to add there is no other disney face on the other sides.

Verrry nice.  :D  Is that blue colour on the outside of the exterior?  I mean...does it look like the blue has been cut away to reveal the amber/yellow underneath?

I think we need to revise your title...it'll give people more to go on.  And I think people are going to ask for a photo of the base too.   :)

Similar in style to a piece in 'Hi Sklo Lo Sklo' page 126 attributed to Novy Bor? :huh:

Hello all again.  The inside looks to be clear, the exterior is blue and yes is cut away to reveal the light amber.  I went to a fair whereby there were 300 exposants and apart from some glass candlesticks with silver rims and this bowl I didn't get anything else.  I could have done if I wanted to pay OTT prices for Saint Louis and Murano Vetri d'art but no thank you.  Anyway I will get a base shot for you all and thanks for looking.

I thought it looked Czech too...and I've just got out Hi Sklo Lo Sklo and it is similar to a range called Dual from Novy Bor as Keith said.  The top rim looks different though in shape?

What size is your Margi?

hello Margi  -  your rim appears to have bee ground/plished the bevelled  -  rather than fire polished, which would leave a rounded shape, rather than the flat edge that you do have, and I believe it would be called 'blue cut to amber', if the blue is on the outside.   Very nice by the way. :mrgreen:
