Title: Could this be a Daum acid etched bowl
Post by: mhgcgolfclub on November 09, 2010, 10:27:06 PM

Is this a Daum acid etched bowl, it looks very similar to another attributed Daum vase , even the handles look the same.

It has 6 matching small bowls so most likely a desert set.

Diameter 10.5" or 27cm and weighs 1.1kg

Thanks Roy

This is from the same series as the vases usually attributed to Pierre D'Avesn for Daum, see here for an exmaple of the vase: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kingofbananas/4036002858/in/set-72157606236337315/

Both the vases and a bowl are shown in Guiseppe Cappa's Le Genie Verrier de l'Europe. Cappa attributes them to D'Avesn for Daum. Both the vases and bowls are quite common, I've had several examples however the only mark I've seen is a acid etched 'Made in France'. Coincidentally I've just bought 6 of the smaller size bowls in green, turned out to be Uranium glass which was a nice surprise :)

Thanks Steven

I thought that they must have been attributed to Daum but was not so sure if they were attributed to Pierre D'Avesn, I do have one of the vases.
Green Uranium sounds nice, this bowl camer with the 6 smaller ones, there are 3 smallish chips on the set but only cost £12.00 which did not seem expensive
