Topic: Icicle / Ice Glass Bowl - Hoganas or Humppila?

[dorian_graye]

I'm posting this bowl to show the base of the bowl.  Maybe this will decide who produced it.  Thanks for your help.

Also, I have a set of these with five smaller bowls.  Is this supposed to be a salad bowl?

Höganäs made ceramics not glass didn't they?

Interesting about the base, I used to have one of these bowls in amber and cannot remember how that one looked. Salad, desert or fruit, you can decide what you use it for.

That's what I had thought also, but Leslie Pina attributes a similar bowl to "Hoganas Glasbruk" in Scandinavian Glass: Smoke & Ice.

I've removed my post and link as I couldn't see a label on the pieced linked to.

Pina does quote a label in Smoke and Ice for Kristall Hoganas Glasbruk.

How big is the bowl in your photos Dorian?

  This one has a plain base: http://www.glaskilian.de/Grosse-Schale-REVONTULET-Entwu.519+B6YmFja1BJRD01MTkmTD0xJnByb2R1Y3RJRD0xNTE5MiZwaWRfcHJvZHVjdD01MTkmZGV0YWlsPQ__.0.html

The largest diameter is 11.5" inches and the tallest height is 5.75" inches.

Interesting, I must have seen hundreads ? of them because there are plenty around here in the homeland of Humppila. All I have ever seen have been with a plain base. Either with a signature or not.

However, now I googled and found another one with a patterned base, slightly different (?)  from tradera - the Swedish "ebay".

I only wonder if Humppila sold/licensed the design or made them a little different for export as otherwise they look very much the same as the largest version of this known Revontulet bowl. (i.e. with a larger diameter across the base, there are 2 heights of bowls with a smaller diameter which however seem to be made with the exactly same mold if the pattern of the sides are compared.)
