I rather suspect it could well be, too.

My first thought was that it has some resemblance to a fabby pale blue Powell piece Christine had, which was rather more fancy, the Mount Jerzin. It's got the right sort of "soft" diamond moulding.

I'm not sure but it looks similar to the Diamond Moulded pieces designed by Harry Powell for Whitefriars, in the Woodchester range.

Glass / Amethyst, mould blown bowl.
« Last post by essi on Today at 10:05:12 AM »
Quite an unassuming looking bowl but seems to have a bit of quality about it .
Nice polished pontil and a decent bit of wear on the base.
Lovely lead crystal ring to it when flicked.
I am at a loss to know what era to place it in or who manufactured it.
It is 95mm tall and 120mm diameter at its widest.
Non UV.

I am trying to nail down the maker and origin of this art glass decanter.

It has been suggested to me that it may be Mdina but I have no concrete evidence to back this up.

Cany anyone help please?

Frosted exterior, 210mm tall including the stopper, 70mm diameter rim, 90mm diameer base, maximum diameter 110mm, weighs 1.1kg, has a capacity of around 65cl. No marks or labels.

Many thanks

 :) In Tiger the colours are deeper set as well as being deeper in tone, and you can make out volume within the internal strapping. In marble, the colours are all really in one layer, flat on the surface, the brown is duller, the yellow is paler, creamier and speckled.
I suspect the diference is the use of silver chloride in Tiger which was changed to silver nitrate for creating the appearance of Marble. 
The frosting would be a clue to it coming from the time after Marble was introduced.

 ;) Thank you Ekimp for the reply agreed it could be said that the people might look slightly Egyptian
certainly gathering for either food or housing material possibly life at the time of manufacturing, I did see a couple
 of tumblers on Scottish antiques of similar make quite stiff prices as well that is good as it was not cheap to me.
Happy to have something of such an age it always makes me feel good buying old glass :)
