Mid century cased glass bowl help
« on: June 09, 2014, 02:47:44 AM »
Hello everybody !
I am having hard time identifying the type of glass of this nice bowl... ???
It is made of three thin layers of glass- black, white and red
It is hand made and is very thick and heavy at the bottom. The bowl weight ~3 pounds and is 5.25 inches high x 8 wide.
The rim is nicely finished.
here are some pictures!
Thanks!
Dimi

I don't recognise it, but would suspect later than the middle of last century.
I can't help wondering if it might have been made using a centrifuge - my first suggestion would be to look for manufacturers that used centrifuges.

Nazeing had hold of Dartington's centrifuges for a short while, but I really don't know if your bowl can be attributed to either of them.

I've seen similar with an orange interior with an Holmegaard mark

Thanks for the tip kisslikeether!
It is Holmegaard indeed - more recent that I thought.
I found very similar the style is called Cocoon and designed by Peter Svarrer in Denmark.
best regards!
