ooh that's beautiful.  A glassmaker having an indulgent day and incorporating all the most fabulous techniques and colours  ;D

It reminds me of the triangular bowls with fish on the corners so presumably around that period given the design.

Thanks for sharing :)

Thanks for your replies, I think I am thanking you for your nice comments.

It reminded me of something I only bought last week which I thought may be Murano. I am having second thoughts now.

I think that is a most likely a Harrach piece Roy. I think, but could be wrong.  It's a gorgeous metallic effect over the white casing.  I suppose Richardson, S&W, Webb and Walsh might all be contenders but the trails make me think Harrach.

The original multi coloured crackle bowl I'm wondering if it could be Walsh.  To me it seems to incorporate Walsh's colours in entirety in the bowl.  Equally it might be worth visiting the Loetz.com site and trawling through the article about Loetz Victorian glass just in case.  There are some incredible pieces with applied flowers and leaves.

I adore it (the first piece) no need to doubt. It puts kitsch to shame.  ;D
I like the second bit too. 8)

Yup I can confirm my comment as well,it’s a piece uninhibited or confined and I guess great fun to make.
