Topic: ID help please, Scandinavian bowl?

I recently bought an Iittala Festivo candlestick and thought that this showed similarities. 13cms diameter x 8 cms tall. any suggestions appreciated, John

I know this one on Emmi's blog is blue but.... http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HSU6DiR5ivM/THDxgvj55QI/AAAAAAAAA9w/_DUnYbDz1D4/s1600/Davidson+SR.jpg

Referencing Emmi again, this is becoming a habit. I may be becoming some some kind of blog stalker. :spls:

Hi John pretty sure it's not a Davidson Luna bowl :ooh:
Chris :sun:

I am not so familiar with the Davidson range to be able to attribute THIS bowl to them unfortunately.  I agree the texture is similar but I haven't seen this shape before.  The one on my blog is one which is regularly  incorrectly attributed to Whitefriars, which is why it is there.  ( and you can "Blog stalk" all you like John!LOL!)

Could it be part of the Ravenhead Fiesta range?

No, too thick. I had that stuff as a wedding present in 1977.

Hmmm thought it might be so Christine, but worth eliminating.

John, can you try and get a sharper photo of the texture? From the inside and the outside might well be useful too.

Attaching a couple more photos, inside is completely smooth. Unfortunately using super macro feature on camera revealed the faintest of hairline cracks. Would still be nice to identify though.

This ebay auction reminded me of your bowl, this seller has included a couple of other items in the same texture too: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VASE-2-BOWL-IITTALA-DESIGN-T-SARPANEVA-FINLAND-GLASS-/150584788904?pt=UK_Art_Glass&hash=item230f8d87a8

Not convinced by the attribution though.
