iridescent glass bowl - ID = Loetz Nautilus
« on: April 12, 2015, 04:57:15 PM »
Hi I bought this iridescent piece of glass from my local charity shop and was wondering if anybody could help me identify it.
Any help would be great.
The piece measures 3 inch in height and 6.5 inch in diameter.
It has a ground pontil mark to base.
Thanks for taking the time to view my item.

Thank you.. it is a beautiful piece. Was filthy when I found it but still drew my eye.
I wont say how much i paid for it but I had plenty of change from £1.
Thank you once again for taking the time

Nice one! But your pictures could be much larger, as they won't enlarge for us. Each picture can be 120kb and the board will make the thumbnail. I crop high-res pictures to remove the rubbish and then resize so that the longest dimension is 700 pixels. That give something of decent resolution that enlarges

Sorry I posted off my tablet and the only way to post photos was to resize in photo editor. I tried posting 5 times using different sizes and this was the only size it would accept.
So once again my apologises for the poor quality photos.

There's loads of techie info here about posting images. Which set of instructions you'll need depend on which systems you're using, but there should be something to suit you.
