Argh! The very first time I dare voice an opinion, and I'm shot down in flames!   :lol:

I've been thinking this shape and colouring is Czech for years!  So I've definitely been wrong all that time then?  Sorry to be pedantic, I'm just preparing to re-shuffle my mental files.  lol

Thickwalled item of course? Quite likely the result of temperature difference - out of the airplane hold straight into the heated sorting office straight into the unheated van and  :!:  KEPLING  :!:  another one bites the dust.  Sorry, Leni  :( . Your Tutti Frutti bowl looks like the real article. I have a large oval one in precisely that colour - we call it the catsick bowl.   8)

You may have been right on many occasions - just this particular one whispers "Doyen".  Maybe it is Murano after all, or Austrian, or German or Canadian - I think these pieces relate more to taste period (late 50s, 60s) than to a specific manufacturer and they're hard to attribute - unless they are stickered.....

 :lol:  :lol:  :lol:   I know exactly what you mean!  I think my son would agree with the description!  He hated it instantly!  - But then he hates everything I buy - he's a Ultiliarian  :roll:  

I just about get away with flower vases, provided I intend to use them - but he wants to know why do I need more than one?  Or two at most?  And I love to drink out of beautiful glasses, whereas he thinks an old plastic beaker is just as good!   :shock:  How did I raise such a Philistine?  

BTW here's a pic of the broken bowl, taken for the insurance claim - not that I can bear to look at it   :cry:
