Title: Chribska bowl with Bridge Crystal label
Post by: glassobsessed on December 03, 2009, 06:01:11 PM

Here is what I think looks like a Chribska bowl but it has a label on it which reads Bridge Crystal England. Some info on Bridge Crystal here http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,14041.0.html

I assume that this bowl was imported and then sold under the Bridge Crystal 'brand'. I would also guess that it would be tricky to put a date to this bowl.

Confirmation of Chribska as maker and any ideas on date of manufacture appreciated.

The bowl is not in my possesion and the photos are used with permission.

Thanks, John.

Hi John,
I went through Chribska catalogues I have and I cannot confirm. Crystal bowls with bubbles were produced in several modifications, but the decoration of bowl webs is very different from Chribska style known to me.

Hi Jindrich, thanks, what do you mean by "bowl webs"?

The shape of this bowl seems very similar to http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,27198.0.html

Ho John,
I ment arches, normaly Chribksa pieces has those much longer, but possibly the angle of view poin of photo makes me wrong feeling.
I do agree with you, looks very simmilar. I ame tending to convert to your oppinion that it should be Chribska. I will check more resources before I will be fully convinced.

As this label is not on a Bridge Crystal product, I would be cautious about assuming it is the same company. It could be a retailer label with the same name - so best to leave an open verdict on the label.
