Title: Red orange marbled coloured bowl hand made with moulded detail on pontil
Post by: adnerb on July 28, 2021, 10:22:20 AM: Hi, I am hoping someone will be able to help me identify this lovely marbled orange and red glass bowl. There is a moulded piece on the pontil which I hope shows up well in the photo. I bought this in Australia some time ago, the glass feels silky.
Many thanks

Your piece looks possibly to give a nod toward 'spatter' glass - a method of decoration that was common generally between the wars, though not suggesting this might have that sort of age. In case your picture is less than clear, please advise what sort of wear is apparent on the base, and some indication of dimension will possibly help. thanks.

If you need help resizing them have a look at our how to techie tip post herehttp://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,34093.0.html
