Title: Heavy, Heavy Clear Glass Rose Bowl (Bubble in Base)
Post by: antiquerose123 on June 14, 2011, 02:48:58 AM: :hi: there:

I am assuming this is a Rose Bowl, as it is about that size. Very, very heavy -- weights like a ton for the Size of it. All Clear glass. Has a opening (hole) in the bottom -- and not really a bubble in the base -- but kinda like a large air pocket. So not sure. The rim looks well done, and on the very inside of the bowl (bottom) there is a hump. Not sure IF you can see it in the Picture.

About 3 inches tall and about 5.25 inches wide. Like I said -- looks like a Rose Bowl type to me. I had some other things with a bubble in the base, but when I did a search I could not find them -- so not sure IF this is the same maker as those ones -- as I forget the name of it right off the top of my Hat :hat: right now... ;D Found it hard to get some good pics of this clear vase -- so some with flash, and one w/o flash.

Thanks for any help on maker, and age. :kissy:

Hi Max -- No that looks different. i will try to take some more photos with Black background, as maybe that will help better. I do not think it is that. I will just try to take some pics from different angles. I find clear glass so hard to take pics of.... :spls:

lol -- Guess I just have too much glass with color here :24:

I think it is a rose bowl as suggested with the hump providing a "Groove" for the stems to fit in and this allow arrangements to be more stable. Would not be an oil lamp as the mouth is far too wide for any burner I have seen so far.

Can't see it in person so it's hard to tell really.

I tried to take some more pics of it. There is a Hole at the very bottom base of it. Inside the bump protrudes up a bit, as you can see the hump. That is why I am confused because it does not have a clear bubble in the base like those others posted here (and I had some glasses too) where there is a clearly defined bubble. yet the hole in the bottom (very bottom) is a hole. I can't see it that I have it flipped the wrong way (for a wick) as what would be the purpose of having (then) such a large bottom stand ?????

Geeeeeeeeeeeez--- I am not sure about this.....or why the hole, or the bubble hump *purpose would* be either???

Hope these pics help a bit more. The top rim looks polished ??? I think ??? :spls:
