I love this - not mine unfortunately.  But if it's not by them, who might it be?

It's only a tiny picture but it's not anything I've seen before, in my opinion I'd say no but you never know  ::) ;D ;D

I'm pretty sure it isn't either Keith :)

But if you scroll down to the bottom of the page, the photo appears full size and you can click to enlarge the photo.

According to the auctions description it is signed but no photo or further information, not sure whether to take with a pinch of salt or not... One problem is that nearly every other piece of glass is also described as S&W when several are obviously are not.

Yes, and definitely many of those from  sales in that era.  Some are shown in Cyril Manley's book and often quoted as Stevens and Williams.  Makes me roll my eyes.

I'm pretty sure it's not S&W but I do love it and wondered where it was from.

Not that I need any more glass  ::)

I've enough to research to keep me busy for years.

Have you seen my ?vistosi? bowl I posted?  Do you have any idea on that one at all?  Much appreciated if you do - TK Maxx/Ikea/Heal's etc.  Any ideas welcome.

It reminds me of 'Kralik Millefiori' - I appreciate we now know that they were not made by Kralik but I have yet to catch up on the latest research there. I also wonder if that is a foot or if the bowl is sitting on a stand, frustrating not having more photos!

Here's a link to a similar (or the same) bowl from a Julia auction. This seems to have a slightly different foot - which is clearly not a separate stand (well, not to my eyes).

The very same bowl - the layout of the twisted canes is precisely the same. A much better photo, the brighter lighting shows the foot far more clearly.
