Glass / Re: Bowl identification
« Last post by Heidi on Today at 11:35:39 AM »
Hi Sue, you were right! Thank you so much

I can't see the signature well enough to make it out clearly, but it looks like Phil Atrill's work to me and his signature would kind of fit the shape I can make out.
He trained with Bob Crooks.

Glass / Unknown Vase
« Last post by NevB on Today at 10:55:44 AM »
I thought this might be Biot/French because of the ring pontil mark but I don't think it is. It's 11" tall and weighs over 2lbs. From the underside it looks as if someone has swirled some thick paint around the inside, otherwise it's a stretched mottled pattern. I can't find anything quite the same.

Glass / Re: murano bird maybe , vaseline glass ?

The link below for the Murano Zoo site may not work but you may be able to find it somewhere. At the bottom of P.4 of the Archimede Seguso section there is a labelled duck very similar to yours so I think it can be attributed to that company. The term vaseline glass has different meanings depending on which side of the Atlantic you are. I would call it opalescent glass.

That's a lovely piece Greg.  It kind of reminds me of Benny Motzfeld, perhaps because of the cube style shape.
All of an era of course.

I've missed this thread - so I'm bumping it.

I know it's a year late but you have some wonderful new additions to your collection Essi.

Glass / Re: Purple Finger Bowl & Under Plate ID?
« Last post by Anne on May 10, 2025, 10:10:31 PM »
SNJ it looks like the resizing has caused the funny effect, as when I look at them full size they are pixelated. It'd be worth checking your camera/phone settings just in case they've gone awry. 

Edited to add: well done, the last batch of photos don't have the pixelation, so it's a resize issue somehow. Normally you should be able to get an image below the 125kb size limit by setting the longer edge to around 700 when you resize it, and then optimise the image to around 80% of the full resolution. We've a help post here which is worth a read for image resizing https://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,34093.0.html

British & Irish Glass / Re: Could this be Monart? - ID = Nazeing

To correct my reference above to my blue and white bowl as 'lattice' - I've just noted a description in Glass Matters December 2023 page 36 where the decor of the blue and white bowl in Fig 11 is named as 'Cirrus range bowl'.
It's one piece of glass which I have out all the time on a table because the decor is so standout :)
