Title: Clear Glass Bowl, Scandi, Frank Thrower?
Post by: Gill on May 08, 2008, 01:16:03 PM

Don't know anything about this bowl, my Mum gave it to me. Has a terrific ding and somehow seems quite, "good" . 10 cms high and 20cms across, any ideas?

Neither Frank Thrower or Scandinavaian, but a centrifugally cast bowl, probably from the Libochovice factory of Sklo Union.
Regards,
Marcus

It looks quite similar to a Dartington bowl I have.  Maybe worth a look?
