Glass Discussion & Research. NO IDENTIFICATION REQUESTS here please. > Scandinavian Glass
Scandinavian = Tora Pors, i Kalmar
Frank:
The bubbles are likely to be caused by imprities in the ground enamels either from careless storage/use or even intentional. It is fairly common in cased enamel coloured hand blown shaped glass. But Adam (aa) can probably give even more reasons...

Hi Frank!
I was just wondering if it was done on purpose, and if it was part of this particular technique. I've seen something similar with Seguso's "Pulveri" pieces, but there you can actually see the powders and no bubbles. In this piece you see mostly the colors not the powder particles.... I know, I know its another technical question, lol, but as an artist myself, I'm interested in all that stuff :D
I do want this talk to be more about the Artist than the techniques.
At 1 point I wanted to sell it, but now I would actually like to see more of the artist and maybe collect it!
Thanks!

Svazzo's bowl looks a lot heavier and thicker than Taylog's vase. Dunno, but the bowl looks Italian to me, and Cenedese is a very good guess. Javier, is it finely made like Scandinavian, or more lumpy and irregular like Murano glass?
I have a feeling that this is a piece that might never get a definative attribution. In any case, I really like both pieces posted, so if not knowing who made them is driving you crazy, feel free to send them here.

Hi Laura,
Glad to have you on this topic!
The piece is very thick and heavy for its size. It measures 6" long.
Have you handled anything similar in the past?
Any experience with Tora Pos?

Hi Javier,
It's as much the shape as anything that makes me think it might be Italian.
However, both of the other items shown are remarkably similar in their internal decoration. It's too bad you can't find a piece in person to compare your bowl to. Sometimes comparing the "feel" of the glass of different items can give a lot of clues.
I am not familiar with the Scandi maker, but it certainly bears looking into. Perhaps there is an active factory somewhere who you can ask? Or a collector of these items? Let us know if your query to the Scandi website yields any results.
