Hi, I just got this. anyone have any ideas at all. Thanks in advance
-
:hi: there -- Well this is an Old, Old post -- from Dec 2007.
But I just re-took some better pics of this item, and I *think* I finally figured this item out by moi-self ;D , so if MOD want to change/Add to the topic heading they may.....as I am 100% (pretty sure) that I have ID'd this unknown.
It is AltaGlass from Canada ................ :thup:
See link for confirmation:
CLICK-AltaGlass Confirmation Pic Ref # fm00170011artglass (http://altaglass.ca/index.php?set_albumName=bowls&id=fm00170011artglass&option=com_gallery&Itemid=30&include=view_photo.php)
Which is from this page here:

The 9th row, second one over.
Adding New and better pics. So now ID'd, and thread can die :cry: but with a :thup:
That scary, I've ID two of my own pieces this week. This one, and that one I thought was Chinese, but was the 1920 Czech 3 legged thing.............Thank you Internet.
I try to help ID others ---- but *still take my guesses* with a grain of salt. My suggestions/guesses are a little *soft* and out in *Left-Field* a lot of time. :24:
Anyway this is ID'd .. :hiclp:

Fantastic, Rose! Well done, it certainly looks like your piece, so there's a high probability that's it. Just a caveat though that even very experienced collectors can be wrong, especially with this sort of free-form glass, and I can't tell what evidence the owners of that website have. So I'd make that ID very probable, but not necessarily 100% just yet.

Whoops - you are totally right!
I guess I believe too much in the Net.........as *how* do I (or anyone else) knows that the attribution there is correct in the first place. I can only *say* the pictures matches, and can only *assume* that the attribution there is correct -- but therefore not 100% positive just yet.
Boy, am I gullible...... :-\ :buries head in sand:

No, you're not gullible, Rose! it just pays to be a bit careful.
