Title: Opalescant Glass Bowl
Post by: adam20 on May 06, 2011, 07:23:46 AM

10" long, 6.5" wide, 4.25" high and of milky opalescant glass in a large shell formation with piped cobalt blue rim

Polished base - How old is this and who would make such a thing - no deiscernable markings .....

Any help appreciated

I would say it was new and Chinese from the colours, the size and the opalescence

A well LOL it was only a few quid - I thought it might be new but thought Italy or Czech not China - but its a nice centre piece or for nuts and berries

Thanks

 :hi: And I think it's opaline, not opalescent.
