green cloudy powder box /trinket box, chrome lid perspex
« on: June 12, 2012, 08:22:18 PM »
as described on the yellow posy mushroom vase thread
here are pics.  New computer and bad light today and the green is not representative I'm afraid.  It is definitely a clear baby green with a hint of blue,not a dirty green at all.
Not cased, mould blown and cut from the rim, measures 4 1/2" diameter by 2 1/8" tall.

Variants of these lids with variant Lucite knobs pop up all over the place on all sorts. I suspect they are British but not necessarily the glass.

I have suspicions about the glass.  The interior has those little tiny bubbles in that you find in the orange cased Bohemian glass pieces, where I thought I understood when that happened, that the colour had been blown into the casing somehow?  I'm just wondering how that effect can happen on this cloudy swirly interior?  and the rim is cut and ground but not polished.  All in all if it wasn't for the decor I  would have thought it was a Bohemian piece, but it is a very similar if not identical effect to the yellow posy vase and the colour looks as though it has been applied in the same way. 
Both pieces have loads of wear and this has a matt worn ring on the base.

Do you mean lumpy little air bubbles protruding from the surface of the glass? The Nazeing basket I have has those.
The bottom of your bowl looks just like the bottom of the basket too - (my pics of it didn't come out)

ooh does it?  Do you mean the underside base has those concentric circles from the mould?
yes I meant those tiny pin prick size bubbles that when you hold it up to the light it looks like it has pin prick holes in it.

Yup, concentric rings on the base, but also the look of the inside base - a big crescent shaped bubble and long blobs of opaque colour - as well as little lumpy air bubbles.

aha,well thank you for that :)  for all sorts of reasons I had thought this may be Nazeing related somehow.  I shall now keep an eye out for powder/trinket boxes in this shape.  I suppose it may have had a matching lid perhaps.  It would have been a nicer display piece with a glass lid but never mind.  And in that case, I do feel somehow the yellow mushroom posy is linked to this.
Sorry Keith..I meant to say thanks for posting yours.  Would you say yours was 1950's?

I would suspect your pot is Nazeing.
