Carolyn Preston:
Hi Javier, just visited your site (via a search for the Fratelli Toso bowls). Wow, I can only say "Got glass?"  :)  (Sorry, couldn't resist).

I have now come up with some specific questions about the colouration of my bowl.

1. In the pictures I have seen, the glass tends to be translucent, but I have at least two layers (pink and white) that are opaque.

2. Again, in the pictures I have seen, bubbles seem to be a major part of the design, either scattered throughout or in a specific pattern. I don't see any bubbles in mine (but there may be a couple in the top clear level)

3. Rather than have just one colour throughout the piece, I have a background of the deep pink, but also have some splotches of what look like be melted multicoloured canes. (See, I'm learning the lingo already  :shock:  )

4. Normally, the aventurine appears to be evenly spread, but in mine, I have dots of the aventurine.

I cannot find a picture of the colouration like mine (never mind in a bowl like mine) anywhere. My theory is that either it is (was) so common that nobody could be bothered to take a picture (dubious) or that it was so rare that there were none to take pictures of.  :?  You tell me.

Hello Carolyn,
I have seen a multitude of different color combinations, styles, and ways the different layers are applied, so dont be surprised that you havent seen the same bowl you have. The shape is very common, but yours is a little more unique than most with the large applied flower murrines.
Javier
