I collect Scandinavian usually, but this was in a batch I bought recently. Undamaged and very pretty. Blue violet and clear.

Searching online I came across this item:
https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/decorative-objects/vases-vessels/planters-cachepots-jardinieres/gino-cenedese-attributed-sommerso-glass-bowl-circa-1960/id-f_16010551/

They are the same, other than mine is square (4" by 4") and theirs is rectangular (same height), but would you agree with their attribution "Vetreria Gino Cenedese, circa 1960s" ? and I know we usually don't on this site, but would anyone like to suggest a value ? (fair disclosure, this could end up in auction if valuable).

Galliano Ferro could be another possibility?
Lovely to "see" you again Gareth.  :)

taylog1:
Thanks Sue, I'll check him out, it's so much more difficult without signatures !

Have moved down to Dorset and retired, and will be able to get hold of my glass soon (in storage in London), so should be contributing more going forward (hopefully), at least re Swedish glass.

This style is commonly called a geode, (but you knew that, didn't you.)
I'm not "up" on Murano myself. It's a very big scary field.  ;D

That is really nice Gareth, I like it a lot/  Love the style.

My comment is about the 1st Dibs Price - they just pick a number out of the air.  I particularly remember a Holmegaard Viking Decanter that typically I an find for no more than  $20(AUD) priced at $1,600(USD).  Furthermore it was not even an unuasual style or colour.  $1.600(USD) roughly eqautes to $2,700(AUD) so with the postage the price was pushing 150 times what I could easily buy one for.  They are appealing to the snobs who want to be able to say they paid $xxxx for it.  I bet you can find similar on Ebay or Etsy for say 30 pounds or so.

Looking forward to see you Scandi glass when it becomes available.  Have you posted any of it to the linked display site.
