Topic: ID for heavy, stepped green bowl

I don't think it's likely to be Beranek; that stuff is much thicker and more "studio" than your bowl. I might even be inclined to look at English glass

Thanks Christine -It is thickly walled and does have the feel to me of a quality piece. I'm open to all possibilities and agree it could be English given how influenced some glass factories were by the Scandinavian style.

It's not as thick walled as the Czech glass pieces though

I know what you mean about the thickness and chunkiness of much Czech glass generally, but I wouldn't say the example I posted was particularly thick and looked much like mine in terms of thickness.
Anyway, I've found a page, through a link on the page I posted, to the Skrdlovice pattern book and there are further ringed bowls, so I'll see if I  can find a shape and dimensions match. I'm still disinclined to think it's Czech because the colour and polished pontil isn't something I associate with Skrdlovice, but you never know ...!
Cheers Geraint.

Surely not Skrdlovice.

To me, it looks moulded and not hotworked, but without handling it is hard to tell...
Other than that, I am clueless, sorry

Did you look at the link I posted Michael? I don't want to labour the point, but it does look quite similar, so I don't think the possibility of it being Skrdlovice is that far etched.

I agree with Michael, moulded and then hot worked to create the oval. Skrdlovice is completely hot worked

Is it by any chance uranium glass? I've see a similar one that was uranium and described as Murano but I was doubtful of that.
