Help with ID of this glass bowl please ~ WMF IKORA ?
johnfandmaryp:
Just the one bowl which I'd like help with please!
It's about 10.5" diameter and 2.75" deep (26.5cm x 7cm). As you know, I'm only a beginner but, at the risk of embarrassing myself, the colours remind me of Murano and the decoration with the yellow 'splodges' look to me like Maltese, perhaps M'dina. Good and heavy, with a polished pontil.
Any help would be truly appreciated. Many thanks, John.
These links show the side view, details of decoration, and the base:

mmmmm I have quite a few pieces of Mdina and this doesn't look like anything of theirs I've seen before - the shape or the colouring isn't right IMHO. It's not splodgy or splashy enough and is a little too perfect in shape ... I'm not an expert either and am happy to be corrected but my hunch just from the photos would be that it's NOT Mdina.
johnfandmaryp:
Thanks for that Pip. The shape actually reminded me of a Whitefiars bowl, but I've been told it's definitely not WF ~ I didn't think it was because of the colours, but thought I'd try on the WF site.
I know what you mean about not splodgy enough for M'dina, but it's the closest I could think of!!
Will keep my fingers crossed that someone may be able come up with a suggestion.
pamela:
just a guess :oops:
WMF Ikora :?:
if yes, it looks rare :oops:
Ivo:
I thought the same thing because of the colour combo, but it lacks the white netting which is so typical for Ikora - so if it is it is not a standard piece.
