Hi I've got a bowl i believe is by thr leerdam factory. It has 2 mirrored Ls etched on the base with dots in. Can anyone help??

The mark is for production glass designed by Chris Lanooy who worked for Leerdam 1919-1929.

Just thought I'd add a picture of this pretty bowl. Bought it for a couple of pounds and I've not been able to find another! I unserstand from kind replies its Chris Lanooy, any way its rather delicate and attractive. Amazing its survived as old as it is!!

I think this is absolute museum quality - the ratio weight to presence is stunning!

Congratulations! That is a very good find for a couple of pounds, and I'm not surprised you haven't been able to find another.

I believe it's what is called a 'drijfschaal', with an irisé finish from 1919 (just in case you want to google that in combination with the maker's name to have an idea of the price they sell for on average).
