Art glass bowl, Initials EW / EM
« on: June 17, 2021, 07:22:10 PM »
I'd imagine that this is a fairly modern art glass bowl, a little over 12" diameter, with initials EW or EM in angular letters to the underside (just visible in the third photo). Any clues to the artist / studio, please?

It could be by Ed and Margaret Burke

Other blue examples here signed in different ways - one with the EM in the design of the cutting:

I have a small blue and clear perfume bottle that matches very nicely, photos to follow. You are on a roll m, multiple identifications with only one post! Like some sort of super power ;D

Thanks very much, M, looks like a match! There are also a couple of pieces in eBay completed listings with a near identical mark - the distinctive E - that the sellers described as Margaret and Ed Burke.

I have a green one, exactly the same design, which I bought directly from Ed and Margaret Burke. ;D
They sell on ebay themselves - or they did.

Earth without art is just eh.

I now realise the little perfume is 'signed' with E & M incorporated into the design, so much more obvious when you know what to look for!

ooh that's lovely and the signature a great find.

 Wish I could find some form of signature amongst the greenery on my little green vase  ::)

The EM on my bowl can look like 3W.  :)
