Title: Blue, spiral - What more can YOU add? ID = Paşabahçe, Turkey
Post by: Jay on November 23, 2015, 01:38:44 PM

Hi folks,

Can anyone help with ID? You'd think that the signature would be more legible, but no!
Let's hope that it's recognisable!

Thanks in anticipation of great wisdom! :-\)

It says, Paşabahçe,  who are one of the world's biggest commercial glassmakers, based in Turkey  http://www.pasabahce.com/ :)

Interesting, as I have not seen such a piece from them before... has anyone else?

It may come under their Çeşm-i Bülbül range and be a development of that design.

Pasabahce maybe one of the world's biggest producers of glass but they make a number of stunning designs under different range names (limited editions and very expensive) where it seems to me they change their designs very regularly for the ranges.
I'll find my lidded cup in a minute and link it - a beautiful and immaculate piece of glass.

Edited to add - cameo cup and saucer link here :)

Thanks for that link M, hadn't seen it before. Are both your link and my link the same company then?

Answering my own question here, yes they are both part of Şişecam A.Ş. :)

Yes :)  I think the link I posted is a the 'studio' or 'boutique' and sometimes-limited-edition type ranges, which are beautiful.

Just a little more information about your lovely bowl Jay,  the name Çeşm-i Bülbül in the range means Nightingale's eye, and refers to the centre of the swirl at the base which resembles the centre of the eye of the nightingale.

I had the pleasure of coming by this beauty recently, minus the stopper. It's signed on the base Paşabahçe.

Lovely. Thank you for sharing pictures.

There is information out there about Paşabahçe and it's history but it can be difficult to find.
