Title: Green with white striped bowl
Post by: vigman on September 25, 2015, 04:12:06 PM: Hi

Newbie here, but not to buying and selling as I had an antique business in the 80s and 90s.

One of my blind spots is glass so I was really pleased to have found your site.

I have sold this, but would really like to know anything about the piece. It is a wide lipped glass bowl approx 10" across with a base green colour with regular thin white stripes throughout the piece.

Hopefully I will have attached correctly!

TIA

Side on, the wide lip rose up in a curve for an inch or so from the centre round container then dropped down in a curve until about 3/4 down the central container...like looking at a ring doughnut cut in half! ;D

My guts tend towards Stevens and Williams for these threaded mushroom posies.
Welcome to the board! :)

(I did not resort to a food-related description - do I get any extra brownie points for that? ;) )

No the base wasn't larger and reducing (eg mushroom stalk style as in your photo) it gradually got larger from the base upwards.

Thanks

Post by: vigman on September 26, 2015, 08:34:25 AM: I have been thinking about this a lot.

Basically if you took a tall thin flowerpot shape and then melted the rim down and round, that is what you have here. The base glass was thicker than the rest, but I would have said the base was still the smallest diameter?

Post by: chopin-liszt on September 26, 2015, 10:26:46 AM: I think I can see the shape looking through the first image, now you have described it Vigman - I just went completely cross-eyed trying to follow the second one, Kev. ;D
Not a shape I'm familiar with.
Is there any uranium in the green?

Post by: vigman on October 03, 2015, 01:58:04 PM: Apologies for the delay in replying I have been away for a while. My knowledge is not good enough to know if there is uranium in the green.

The second photo is the underside of the bowl....but I can see how confusing that could be!

Any idea on maker....?

TIA

Post by: flying free on October 03, 2015, 10:29:01 PM: I don't know anything about this but I have a plain pink version I call a mushroom bowl. I think the white trailing on yours might mean your bowl is described as being a'threaded' bowl?
I'm sure someone will correct me if not.
also the trailing is very regular so it might have been machine threaded or machine trailed.
