Title: ID hoped for, for my pressed float bowl with tulip decoration !
Post by: meegs on March 19, 2012, 02:49:20 AM

Hello Everyone,
Its good to be able to get my glass fix again with this site up and running better than ever before, thank-you to all of you involved behind the scenes.

I've been searching the usual pressed glass sites to try and identify this float bowl.
I'm sure I have seen it somewhere before...
It is a smokey-grey colour ( which made me think it could be Czech) and the base is the same as the Libochovice float bowl which has the penguin centrepiece.

The diameter of the bowl is 15 inches (or 38cm) and it is 2 1/2 inches (or approx 6.4 cm) high.
Thanks and regards,
meegs

I don't recal the pattern no., but it's on the CD with Marcus's Sklo Union book. The decor was also used on a vase, as shown here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kingofbananas/4035997506/

btw, I wouldn't really describe this as a float bowl. It doesn't appear to have been sold with a frog and the examples I've handled have all been far too shallow to float anything in!
