Title: Green Glass heart shaped bowl
Post by: antiquerose123 on August 21, 2010, 10:03:56 PM: :hi: I am pretty sure that this is Murano, well at least 90% sure -- now watch, I'll be wrong... :thud:

Green Glass heart shaped bowl. Very heavy. About 4.5 inches wide, 5.5 inches long, and about 2 inches tall. Base shows good wear. I love the color of it!!! Anyone have an idea of age, or maker? Got this for less than $5, so I am Happy about it. Glass is very thick. (Maybe) Barbini (??) -- but that is just a Guess here.

Thxs as always...let me know :X:

Oh how I wish, Ivo :X: :X: But yours looks more complicated to make (??) IMHO

Maybe like this one HERE (http://cgi.ebay.ca/Murano-Art-Glass-Sommerso-Teal-Green-Heart-Shape-Bowl-/200449509471?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2) Is mine Sommerso?

Rose: if you see two layers of glass in different colours, or the other one very often colourless (like in the base of a vase), then it is "sommerso". Which is simply a form of the Italian verb sommergere. Means thus: "submerged".
I think. ::)

Does this qualify? Has some clear, then color at the end (??) when I hold it right (??). So any thoughts on Age/maker?

Post by: kane_u_pain on August 23, 2010, 09:13:22 AM: I would say no. I would consider it a cased bowl. But others would say otherwise.

Post by: px on August 23, 2010, 11:21:05 AM: "No" for what?
Well, anyhow, if there's a difference between "sommerso" and "cased" please, someone explain? (****see below
"Bullicante" is intentional bubbles usually in precise order, I think.

Rose; this looks like yours: http://www.glaskilian.de/Schale-Sommerso-Murano-um-1960.43+B6YmFja1BJRD00MyZMPTEuJnByb2R1Y3RJRD01MjMxJnBpZF9wcm9kdWN0PTQzJmRldGFpbD0_.0.html (http://www.glaskilian.de/Schale-Sommerso-Murano-um-1960.43+B6YmFja1BJRD00MyZMPTEuJnByb2R1Y3RJRD01MjMxJnBpZF9wcm9kdWN0PTQzJmRldGFpbD0_.0.html)
(It is a pity they have many wrong attributions at least on their "Finland" page so I wouldn't rely on anything. Pity, really)
