Not Peter McDougall bowl - any info please!

No, m.
I was just suggesting another non-Scottish maker of this style of glass, and I was referring to the aqua bowl in the auction link Frank said wasn't Scottish - I think...
Your comment was on the previous page, and out of sight was out of mind. Sorry for repeating it. :-[

:) oh sorry - just thought I'd check just in case. Ignore me ;D
chopin-liszt:
No, :-* it's ME that needs ignored. I will just read quietly from now on.

Gray-Stan did do some stuff with quite defined whorls

But the pontil mark still doesn't look right for Gray-Stan. However I don't know if they ever did polished pontil marks. The pieces I have, and have had, haven't been polished.

Hi all,
Here are some more pictures - I'm pretty certain Gray Stan it isn't - much as I'd love it to be! I need to have a look for whatever it was that someone else put on that reminded me of this - same base if I remember rightly (unfortunately that is the only thing I remember!!)
Do you think Frank knows something and isn't telling??
Peter McDougalls reply was - to quote "I would say it looks very much like a Vasart but I can not be sure, but it is off a Vasart design."
To me it looks like it someone who has worked with someone at Vasart / Strathearn - why does Frank say look outside Scotland?
Why do we drive ourselves potty about all this??
Anyway, the glass is full of tiny bubbles, and not any heavier than you'd expect. To me it looks like the glass is blue not clear, then swirled with (mainly) white and blue.
Frank, you aren't implying these could have been made in London are you?
Anyway, we may or may not ever know :P
