Title: Yellow bowl with polished pontil
Post by: Tigerchips on May 27, 2006, 11:00:42 PM

This bowl has a polished flat base and a polished pontil. 9.50cm diameter.

Any ideas?

Most likely Barbini, but could be Fratelli Toso.

Thanks, I was hoping you'd say that. In the cabinet it goes then. I'll have to find someware else for my nuts now. :D

There was me thinking it was worth peanuts.  :lol:  :roll:

I really dont think this is a Barbini or Toso piece.
I've seen similar ones with the scalloped green and red "Genuine Venetian Glass" labels.
