Title: ID of round lidded 9" T X 7.5" D bowl
Post by: job4214 on October 15, 2014, 07:50:01 PM
My grandmother collected many antiques throughout her life while also inheriting many generational antiques.  She passed away in 1993 and everything was placed in storage until my mother passed away.  Now I am going through everything and I came across this round, lidded glass bowl.  It is 9 inches tall (with the lid) and 7.5 inches diameter.  It has no maker's mark that I could find.  It has several cooling marks and included bubbles.  I believe it has a cut glass bottom that has "caved in" when it was made - from the inside there is a slight smooth bump where the "caved in" area is (I don't know how else to describe it ???).  The "caved in" area isn't really visible - one would have to be looking for it - you can definitely feel it when you run your fingers over the bottom though.  Otherwise, this bowl is perfect - no scratching from use, no chips or breaks, or damage whatsoever.
I am planning on selling this item on eBay and using the link through this website so I would greatly appreciate any and all information from anyone so that I may more accurately list the bowl and possibly fetch a higher price for it.
