Title: Clear, lots Bubbles -- HEAVY
Post by: antiquerose123 on May 12, 2010, 08:59:02 AM

Hi, bear with me as I know nothing about this.  So this could be chines too, but seems better made - and heavy, heavy - and larger.  It is 3.5 inches high.  There seems to be some wear on the bottom.  Anything - or nothing.  I got it at the Thrift Store, so it did not cost me that much.....Thxs

** The first pic, that is just a Light reflection at the top because it was late (dark) when I took this...Sorry
 ;) and Please be gentle here -- I am a Newbie at PW

Ah, the mystery of bubble weights .... My first thought was Chinese but then I saw the large, flat, polished base that, had I seen it on most any other weight, would have brought Murano to mind.  With that being said, I am not able to add any more.

My best .... Lily :huh:

IKEA had a range of large glass balls with airbubbles in them and a flat polished base, I don't know if they had clear ones,
I recall seeing blue, green and red ones at least.
