Title: Blue Glass Bowl/Ashtray?
Post by: Rosie1 on May 28, 2009, 04:22:10 PM

Hi
Any ideas who made this? It's 7.5" high, 4.25" wide & about 4" depth. It stands on a "daisy" shaped attached pedestal and the pontil is polished and smooth. I think it is meant to be an ashtray but I have never used it as that. Feels quality and very decorative, I though it might be Murano, but I'm certainly no expert.
Thanks

Hi Rosie   :) :)

Nice decorative dish you have there.  It looks like it could be Italian, but it could equally well be Chinese and modern imho.  It's quite a generic shape so I'm not sure you'll be able to pin down a designer.   :-\

Thanks Max, it does seem quite good quality and pretty heavy, so I'm hoping it's Italian - never know tho' - I like it anyway so never mind.  :chky:
