Topic: Glass Bowl ID Help - James Powell?

[flying free]

I had been more inclined to think S&W on this dark green bowl (of which you now have the clear version!   )  But I think that's because  many years ago when I was researching all the tadpole/dab/peacock eye vases I'd come across  that bowl with the Illustrated Catalogue of English Table Glass source reference I've just linked to.   
So to be fair, if it turns out to be Stuart, it was Christine who first noted that she always though of it as a Stuart green not me
And I'm coming round to thinking it could be Stuart more now that observation has been made.


John the suggestion of OP's bowl possibly being shaped to hold a lid is a good one.  It could also be that it had a wire insert in the top to hold flowers perhaps as well?

and here (scroll down the page to see the bowl and also a source of id of S&W in the Illustrated Catalogue of English Table Glass from Stevens and Williams 1930):

page 120 of Gullliver's Victorian Decorative Glass British Designs 1850-1914, Schiffer
shows a Stuart bowl that has a green spiral trail all the way up culminating in a pinched wavy rim.  The base part of that bowl is exactly the same shape as the Dark green bowl linked above.


Just to add, whilst the shape does remind me of Stuart now it's been mentioned, the colour doesn't for some reason.
However...
This tall vase is a definite Stuart and in a dark green:

like this one for example

Yes that makes sense, certainly feels a bit more likely than a glass lid. Rose bowls do seem to have been popular in the first couple of decades of the C20th.

Interesting bowl here on ebay:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224669832007?hash=item344f5d9347:g:MXIAAOSw8F1hemU7

Has a polished pontil mark and I'd have thought that decor was S&W Fibrillose ?  Fibrilose ?

It has ten pulled frills on the rim.

I know it's not the same shape as the OPs bowl but it is trailed
