Topic: Please help Identify!! Glass Bowl

[Markbjj77]

Hey everyone,

New here, new to glass, but loving it!!! :hiclp: Can anyone help me identify this bowl I recently picked up? It measures 6.5" in diameter is 1.5" thick and 3" tall. It was labeled as Modern Swedish Crystal but has no stickers or markings.

Any help would be appreciated!!

It looks very much like Murano to me, 50's or 60's, although Onesto and others kept making them until well after those dates.  This a bigger example of this shape.  Pieces like this are often included in the "geode" classification.  Very nice piece, imho.

Found this online. It is a Murano Geode Bowl By Alfredo Barbini. Looks very similar except my bowl is considerably larger.
What does everyone think???

Im sooo confused   :huh:

Why the confusion? It's very hard to tell geodes from different makers apart unless they're labeled or marked in some way.  Your bowl could be by Barbini or any number of companies/
