Title: Help ....Murano Bullicante.....Barbini?...changing colour in different light
Post by: Stringofpearls on April 21, 2015, 09:07:25 PM

Hellp again peeps....ding ding round 4... My Mothers  glass dish or bowl, think from 50-60's, although not sure. In daylight a light pinky translucent, at night under artificial light a definite turquoise/green.....very odd....please explain to the science dinosaur.
Looks like a murano bullicante, could this be a piece by barbini??? I'm not hopeful.
Any help you can give including date, gratefully received.

Thanks
Simon

Poor Stringofpearls, only wanted to know what sort of glass it was  ???... actually I think it is a really lovely bowl, and I would have bought it had I seen it.
Christine has the spelling of neodymium absolutely correct.

Not lilac, Keith? Pale Purple sounds a bit wishy washy, especially if one is more used to Deep Purple. .
