Purple Glass Goblet and Glass Bowl - ID required
« on: October 23, 2011, 12:59:36 PM »
Can anyone give me any information on these two items? 
Do you think they are British? Age ? any info would be great.
They both are thick glass and have some age as the bases are quite worn.

We would like to see a picture of the underside . How is it finished?  Chances are fair that the goblet is from Mallorca - the dish s less obvious

The base of the goblet has a pontil mark and the base of the bowl is completely smooth.  Here's a picture of the goblet

As expected: this one is by Lafiore, one of the two glassworks in Mallorca. I think it is about 20 to 30 years old.  I have a decanter with glasses all with identical donut prunts and I've had that since the late nineties. The finish of the pontil mark - splinters smoothed over but nothing fancy - is what they do.

The bowl is of a diffent manufacture altogether.  Polished smooth could point at Murano.

Could you repost the bowl as a separate topic please? We ask for one item per topic otherwise we can get ourselves in a muddle if discussing multiple items in the same topic. Thanks. :thup:
