Post by: djkglass on May 04, 2020, 04:06:02 PM: Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has any ideas who made this bowl? Thanks in advance.

Would you try rubbing some talc or cinnamon or cocoa powder over the marks and see if they photograph any better?

Must have been where the Orient and Flume thought came from. I was also thinking Quezal, but I can see you will already have considered it.

Thought there was another outlet too but can't find it now.

Post by: glassobsessed on May 06, 2020, 12:20:40 PM: I get the impression it could be more recent than the early 1900's, can't see much in the way of wear and if so that would tie in. Probably worth taking the time to discount Okra but look at contemporary American and those Czech producers as well.

Post by: chopin-liszt on May 06, 2020, 05:09:15 PM: I think it's far more recent too. :)
Contemporary with Okra, Orient and Flume. I'm sure it's Studio.
I have a vague ponder about a Ditchfield unique piece but dismissed it as not a very useful lead.
Colours are not right.

Joska Is producing quite good replikas from old Glas. For me your Glas looks quite young, that is was I came to Joska. All 3 Company are german so search for the Company Name and Jugendstil ( Art nouveaux)
