Amber Bowl ---> Bubble Cluster ??
« on: August 02, 2011, 07:07:13 PM »
 :hi:

I picked this up over the weekend.  Amber bowl about 5 inches wide, and about 2.5 inches tall.  It does have wear on the bottom.  The bubbles are kinda all clustered together (or have like a crystallized look) to them.  Not sure what to call them.  Seems to be well made with a nice wide top rim.  I have no idea what to call this -- and in the bubbles there almost looks like *ash* or something in it.

Any ideas at all ?   Maker, description of bubbles, year made ??

Kinda striking look to it, IMHO... :thup:

Might this be Schott Zwiesel --- designed by Heinrich Löffelhardt ??  I find things in Blue but not Amber??

rose the rim is cut and polished isn't it? 
Also can you do a side on profile shot to show the shape of the bowl as it seems to go in towards the foot.  That might help id it one day.
thanks

I would say no to Zwiesel and Löffelhardt - colour is wrong, the bubbles in the Zwiesel "Florida" range go from top to bottom on opposite sides, and the rim is hotworked.
I looked through the Gralglas book and CD-Rom (they made bubbly pieces in this style as well), but I couldn't find the shape; and their pieces seem to have a clear casing usually.

The most similar I could find regarding colour, rim and technique is >> this Hessenglas vase from the late 1960s.

Hi Michael:

I know nothing of that maker ----- But I think you have hit it on the head (IMHO).  The bubbles cluster look very much the same, and the colors.

I would say *Your Spot On* IMHO, but I have never held a piece by this maker.  But I can see very much the same qualities!!

I think you have NAILED IT !!! 

Thank YOU!!!!!   :-*     :-*
