Topic: Flower Molded Pink Bowl

[saj204]

Hi

A few weeks ago I picked this bowl up from a charity shop, it's not really my normal style so haven't had much luck finding anything online that shows it and was wondering if anyone might be able to point me in the right direction. I picked it up because very faintly in the centre of the underneath of the bowl it is marked 2/11 so just in case it was something special I picked it up.

The bowl is 21.5cm in diameter and 7cm tall.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Perhaps 2/11 was the price in pre-decimal English money - 2 shillings and 11 pence.

Yeah that did occur to me but it seems a bit strange to mark the price so permenantly on a bit of glass. It appears to be below the frosting.

It looks like pencil. It may well come off if you used a rubber eraser, but, please don't!
My guts feel this bowl might be English or French. I'd go looking towards Jobling or Bagley first...
but the denser pinks around the edges might suggest French. However, pressed glass is not my area - I just have a bit of a thing about good quality, pressed glass, ceiling lampshades. They are really practical.

Definitely a pencilled price and not uncommon. Not Bagley or Jobling. Have you looked through http://www.pressglas-pavillon.de/

I hadn't but have just had a look through and can't spot it on there.

Stephen, welcome to GMB.
Nice bowl  Do not waste your time - neither have I got this pattern nor is it in the catalogues published so far.

In my opinion there are further contenders such as VLG (Vereinigte Lausitzer Glaswerke, Germany), and - looking at colour, finish and style of feet: Italy ?!?
Ivo, please
