English 1950's/1960's bowl help please
Margi:
Good morning all
I have purchased this bowl there was also a large pitcher that matched but did not get that. It is satinised glass with a blue feathering pattern. Standing on a darker base with a rather unfinished not so pleasant pontil. Does anyone recognise this please. Purchased from an English couple, who said it was at least 50 years old and she remembers it being around the lincolnshire/norfolk area.
Many thanks
Margi

I dont like to say but i think it is modern you see a lot in the UK in repro shops it may be Turkish . :ooh: or Spanish .
Margi:
Hmmm will bare that in mind but I do trust the source they are known people to me. Please keep the thoughts coming. The sofa has been used a couple of times on me now I think I may be slipping backwards. Stop shopping girl and get back in the :sun:

Hi Margi maybe someone told them Porkies ?
flying free:
I have a bowl in this colour and a very similar finish which has a quite an odd label as I remember. I'll go dig it out and check the label. But I have to say the glass colour and finish look incredibly similar. Mine doesn't have blue lines in it but does have an applied plum coloured type decoration round it. I like it personally and use it at Christmas for sweeties but other than that I felt sure it was not expensive glass. Mine also has been rubbed at the back and the satin finish has come off on close inspection although you wouldn;t realise when just looking at it casually. I get the feeling if I scrubbed it the finish would come off completely.
Right, got it - my label says 'Atlas Star Ltd' (which is a bit odd, unless it is a UK importer perhaps??)on it and has a picture above it of two face to face horses. The pontil on mine is snapped off and not ground completlely but definitely smoothed over and finished ok.
no camera at mo, but will try and see if I took photos previously.
