Title: Ruby bowl with diamond pattern, clear and gold prunts/rim/foot and single handle
Post by: catshome on October 15, 2019, 05:09:28 PM: I'm being very lazy. I have an identical piece to the one in the link below, which has great pictures but the date and attribution are wrong. A shade over 2" high, 5.25" diameter, excluding handle, broken off Pontil mark, raspberry prunts.

Any thoughts about a maker? I will add a picture later so that there is an image on the thread for future reference.

Many thanks

Post by: catshome on October 15, 2019, 08:26:46 PM: I know there are several more pieces in other unopened boxes here, but the single handle seemed a bit more unusual to me so I thought it was worth posting. I suspect these were fairly generic Venetian pieces, made by quite a few companies. It feels 1950s to me, but they may have made them for quite a while. Someone will know more for sure.

Post by: keith on October 15, 2019, 11:21:20 PM: I'm sure they have been talked about here before, I'll see if I can find a link ;D Just type in 'Ruby glass, prunts' a few turn up.
