The maker may be hard to pin down, but I would date them to the late 50's to late 60's. It is a great color combination that is not found all that often......   I need them to go with these......    :thup:

I was having a look through my leslie pina book Twentieth Century Glass last night and there are a couple of pieces that look similar,they were by Cenedese.

Mind you, as I have learnt recently, shape and colour don't always point you in the right direction.

It looks like Cenedese, 50-60's to me. Look at a couple of the Cenedese pieces in this link. http://www.design-and-arts.com/en/show-products.php?category=61

Craig: the bowl on the left looks like Galliano Ferro.

Craig: In one of those coincidences, later this evening I came cross this piece http://cgi.ebay.com/Huge-Murano-G-FERRO-Cenedese-VASELINE-Glass-Bowl_W0QQitemZ130319789504QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item1e57aa2dc0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14#ht_2661wt_1167

It looks very similar to yours.

David, It looks quite similar to our bowl.... I would also have a tendency to put some faith in Javier's attribution....  I am also thrilled as I paid a fraction of what he is asking for the one we have, although it is smaller.  Same technique, different shape......  Thanks, Craig

Craig: Glad to have helped. My original attribution was based on shape and the bubbles. I had been going to say that I didn't know if GF did vaseline glass. Now I know.
