Hi there:  Nice, need a shot of the base too.  Does it change a bit of a different shade of color in Nature lighting vs. indoor lighting (flash)...just wondering if any subtle change.  Nice piece !!

I have one of these as well which I bought in a lot with two others, all identical shades of Neodymium. It has been suggested that these come out of China, but I have never seen this confirmed.

hi,thanks for reply,have tried another couple of pics thanks again.

Lux Glas of Austria would be among my suspects because of the square base of the bowl. But - just a guess...

put tha vase under a sun lamp and it changed to a light blue,looks really nice thanks for any replies eric

Just as easy is to put it next to a fluorescent globe.  They seem to turn pale blue(all three of mine do) or pale green.

I believe what you have is a piece of Tiffin Glass in the color they called twilight, made in the 1950s & 60s, the bowl is a flower arranger.

Hi there ...Pretty.  

Looks like a *Basket type Vase* to me.  Not sure what it is really called...but with the handles (??) looks more like a basket vase -- than a bowl (IMHO) but that is just a *guess* from Me....

:spls:

For some funny reason (gut only) I keep thinking of FM  () Ronneby.....but left field Eh
