CRYSTAL FRUIT BOWL (GRAPES)?
« on: February 22, 2010, 03:11:54 PM »
Hi, I have recently purchased this beautiful bowl from a charity shop.  Looks quite modern and could not understand why someone would want to part with it.  The bowl measures 30.5 cm in dia.  That's very large indeed, compared to the others I own.  The height is 12.5cm and the three supports are 0.7cm thick.  Cany anyone put a originator and age to this please.  Many thanks in anticipation.   :)

Its maybe Cristal D'Arque France, the pattern especially the grapes look very similar to some cd glasses I have although the pattern I am sure is amongst other manufacturers.  Just a thought.
