Welcome to the board Maureen. You don't need to start a new topic to add more info to your original question, just use the Reply tab at the top or bottom instead. :thup:

I've merged your two topics into one to keep the pics together.

Hello, thank you  , I really like this website and I  hope to get a response about this bowl , I love glass and have collected it for years but this bowl is a mystery to me , when I bought it I thought it could be Whitefriar's but I could find  nothing except from a vague similarity to the knobbly range  , so I thought  may be it could be a Murano piece  but I still could not find  any information ,  I posted it on the whitefriars site and got nothing at all, so if I don't get any response this time  can I upload it again after a week or so with better photos because I think this site may finally answer my question .

Just add a reply (called a *bump*), rather than repost it please. We prefer it if you leave it a couple of weeks before *bumping* it though please as not everyone pops in every day. Be patient and help with be forthcoming - sometimes it takes longer than others though. ;)

Welcome.

The "better pictures" you mention would help greatly. I can't make out out enough details to even know whether I have any idea of who made the piece.
