:hi:
I got this and I am hoping :X: that I lucked out on this one. I am not sure who make it, but it is Pretty. It is clear with some *Gold* iridescent near the top half of the vase (is it a vase, or one of those things for starting a Plant in it???). There are 4 applied decorations on it. The top rim appears to be polished, IMHO. There seems to be a light Gold there too. The base seems to show good wear on the bottom. About 5.25 inches high. I think the ropes are a bit more *green* than in the Photos.....Imho
I can not find anything as I do not know where to start. IF I had to guess ??? Kralik, but I am still learning there. Stueban ?? Bohemian ??
I really have no idea -- but I do think it has some good quality, and therefore :X: good maker.
Any ideas on Maker, year, or any info at all? No matter, it is a keeper for Me. ;D
Thanks :X: :X:

Looks like a Rose Bowl to me. Highly suitable then, for you :chky:

Still wondering about the Maker, and Year of the bowl. Thanks for the Pun !!! :thup: lol

But I'm serious. You know, one of those bowls where you just put the rose blossom (no stem) in it and it floats around.

lol......Must be nothing then....lol
I just thought had good wear, and pretty applied thing-a-bobs. I might try to take some different pics tomorrow in some different light. Can you see the Gold at the top part of it -- going down a little ways. Not flecks, chips....almost like a light dusting of Gold. Very light.
Back to the drawing board ---> (http://www.gifanimations.com/GA/Image/Animations/Computers/Programmer_1.gif) :thud:

It doesn't strike me as Czech but I could be wrong. And it's not a rose bowl; a rose bowl curves in but does not flare out again. Test those blue stripes with your UV light Rose.

Hi Lustroussone. Yes it does have some glow.
Not real bright, bright -- but about the same as this Czech Piece here had for glow. HERE- Reply #27 in that post (http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,32442.15.html) so see what I mean...
**More PHOTOS added...
I am posting some pics I took with the *flash here to see the:
~ the Gold haze (gold dust) in the glass
~ Rim loooks cut, and polished (to me ??)
~ and the Size of it. Might it be a little big for a Rose Bowl? as see my Hand in the Pic
~ another Rim shot in the Sun...
Anyhow, see if these extra Pics help any. :X: :X: Always worth a shot. Does have very good bottom rim wear, if that helps :thud:

See the new pics :thup:

i can set you straight on rose bowl. It is a rose bowl only if the thing is curved inward. As soon as it has an outward neck or a collar, it is no longer a rose bowl but a vase. Rose bowls were used for keeping dried roses on the mantle piece, not for floating damaged flowers.

Must be a cultural difference then. In Canada, the rose bowls have sometimes, a little ruffled collar. And nobody said anything about damaged flowers, they can be purchased from florists that way.

Rose bowl is the collector's term for inturned bowls, usually (but not always) with crimped rims. Apparently the shape first appeared in about 1880 and the term was in use in print by 1894. Collectors debate the origin of the term; some think it was related to rose petals (i.e., pot pourri); others think the crimped rim was to support the heavy blooms of antique roses (short stems). Info: Collectible Glass Rose Bowls, Johanna Billings. (She also shows some ceramic ones.)
Here are two examples I have, http://lustrousstone.co.uk/cpg/displayimage.php?pid=440

I see what Ivo means. Yeah we have rose bowl with ruffled opening here --- but still the body of it is round. The neck kinda goes out on this one. It might be a bit of a cultural difference too -- as we here call everything a Rose Bowl. But even to me, because it is bigger than *what* I think of a Rose bowl -- I did not think it was that either. That is why in the Title I did not put Rose Bowl -- but thought because of it being bigger -- I thought I would call it a Vase.
Still have to say it is a very Pretty item. It does appear to be well made, and show good wear on the bottom.
Just have to try to figure out the Maker here. Could it be Bohemian ?
Any examples of other polished rims that appear to have gold on them? It is not painted one, but well done when made. Of course, I find all the hard things here. I was hoping this would be easy once the right GMB members saw it -- but I guess the jury is still out on the maker, and the origin of this.
:thud: Will keep hunting..... :wsh:
Oh, and because of the rim -- I was thinking it was one of those glass things for plant bulbs to sprout (forget the name....) but then I think it is a little big for that. Thanks for the Reply also Lustrousstone. See you were typing while I was -- I am just slower...

You're thinking of hyacinth vases, but are they not usually more vertical than that?, Rose. And how the heck do we know the size of it. Size was not discussed (or did I miss something?)

.....bump, do these photos help at all.....as the last Kick at the cat..
Is it Art Nouveau ?? Thought I would bump just in case some new ideas came up after the glass show there. This (light) gold dust on it is driving me :ho: too
The only thing I have found with any (kind of) resemblance to it is *HERE (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Art-Nouveau-1900s-Iridescent-Kralik-Bohemian-Glass-Vase-/120639190434?pt=UK_Art_Glass) and I know I am way out in LEFT field.....but I can not find anything else.
I am drawing a real blank -----> more than Normal :pb:
Thanks for any assistance offered, or directed !!
