Topic: For show - blue Mercury glass bowl and vase set

[glassobsessed]

Thought these two interesting, lovely bulbous shapes, double walled of course. Presume they are from the 1920s or 30s given those vaguely Deco shapes and the etched Czechoslovakia mark (on one item only), from memory, the vase is roughly 15cm tall.

They reminded me of the Nick Munro designed mercury glass bowls: https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/42933577_nick-munro-mercury-glass-bowl

I don’t know where or when those were made but Nick Munro was active from 1988 (ref Linkedin.com, Nick Munro Holdings 1988-2018). Presumably the Czechoslovakia mark could be up to 1993 (the paper cleaning label looks relatively modern) so possibly related? I think there are also blue versions of the Munro bowls.

Looks like Nick Munro’s mercury glass did come from Czech Republic/Czechoslovakia.
