Please help to identify this odd piece of art glass????
scottmorris:
Thank you for your comments...I understand the thoughts as possible jug like shape but i think viewing it 'handle' point out (see pic one)..it looks like very modern arty almost face like,it can't have practical uses as the rim is not uniformed or shaped..The base is smooth except where the pontil has been snapped off leaving a small rough indentation.It is very well made and very heavy :rn:.

The blowpipe finish is very Biot, so are the bubbles. But it does not follow their production standards. So the best I can come up with is someone took a glassblowing course at Biot (they do, reasonable prices too!) and this was the result.
chopin-liszt:
Do I see a "veil" of differently coloured enamels around the bubbles?
rosieposie:
Hi Scott :hi: I have been following this thread with interest, and it did occur to me that it could be an apprentice piece with different techniques all on one piece. ie the pouring lip, the handle, the heavy base and the controlled bubbles. A bit like a sewing sampler, with no practical use, but perhaps just to demonstrate competence in differnt techniques........Just a thought anyway.
John ( my OH,) wondered if it might be a type of drinking vessel worn round the neck....a bit like the Holmegaard glasses.....might this be a possibility?
Lustrousstone:
Scott says it's very heavy, so no, not unless concrete overshoes were unavailable.
