I found this rather nice green glass bowl at my local trodelmarket today, it measures 30cms across, can any one ID it for me please...Kev 8)

Possibly Walther Brügge. See http://www.pressglas-pavillon.de/index.html for a covered bowl.
Come to think of it, you must have already seen this while researching your bowl before posting this query, and eliminated this possibility, so my apologies. Wasting others' time is not typical of GMB members. So it must be something else.

Hi Bernard
No need for apologoies, i am new into the glass thing, i have very little time to research it, i spend most of my time reserching ceramics West/East German Ceramics to be accurate....Kev 8)

Bernard, you have sharper eyes than me, I'd not have matched Kev's bowl as Brugge based on the photo of the covered pot in Pamela's collection. I can see similarities but not enough to make me think they are one and the same pattern. (See here Kev: http://www.pressglas-pavillon.de/deckeldosen/00686.html) I wonder if Pamela has a Brugge bowl to compare with?
-
That was my feeling as well, Anne.
-
Cathy & Anne — I only put it forward as a possibility — I don't think that it is too dissimilar for Walther Brügge to be excluded as an attribution for Kevin's bowl without further evidence.

I'm pretty sure it's a sklo design.It is very common in the Netherlands. (I guess it comes from the same post war period as 'baroque' and 'boule', which are also "litter" in the dutch trade).
We see large fruitbowls with an inflared rim. gateau plates, side plates and small bowls.
The pattern is available in green, amber, clear and fume (at least)
This shade of green is almost certainly NOT uranium (in my experience!)
After WW2 there was a scare about 'radiation' and(for example) in Holland people were told to throw their uranium green away!
Factories looked for alternatives and experimented with many shades in the 1940's-50s.
In fact, this exact bowl forms part of our 'museum exhibition' showing exactly this point!
If it DOES glow then it must be very early production. (and now we wait for Marcus?!)
