Title: Ruby and Metal Bowl
Post by: slyreaper on March 19, 2012, 09:02:29 PM

I have next to no information on this but its marked BM © 1065 on the bottom
I have done a lot of research trying to find out whose mark is BM and have came up with nothing.

Any info would be appreciated

Thank you.

BM will be the metal work manufacturer, not the glass manufacturer

BM might well be Bernsdorfer Metallwaren - from Bernsdorf, Germany.

You don't say where you are from, but if its the U.S. there is a B&M Metal Importers that imports metal & glass items in the U.S.

Strange that the bowl somewhat resembles Viking Epic's 1186 17" shallow oblong bowl. Not saying it is, but it does resemble it.

Thank you everyone for all of the leads. Now I have a better Idea where to start looking.
I contacted Viking Art Glass to see if it was one of theirs.
