Topic: Small glass bowl with 'lump'?! ID Help

[Louise88]

Hi there

I'm hoping to find out who made this piece?

Small glass bowl with a glass 'lump' on the inner base.

No signature.

Thanks!

The colour and shape makes me think of one of the Scandinavian factories, Stromberg maybe ?

Thank you! Looks like Holmegaard but no signature.

Not Holmegaard - they polished the bases.  Stromberg is possible - but I would expect the base to be polished also.  I agree the blue colour is typical of Swedish makers in particular.  I am wondering if it was decided that it was a second and was thus not finished - although I can't imagine why they would not have recycled it in that case.

Very helpful thank you

Ross I think the base is polished but has a lot of wear on it?

It's smooth but frosted. I'm not sure whether that would count as polished? Thanks!

ah no, polished would be shiny and transparent.
My eyes, I thought it was just base wear.  Apologies.

When enlarged, it looks like heavy matted base wear, over a polished base, to my eyes.

It would be really helpful if you posted individual pictures rather than a collage so we can enlarge them properly
