Topic: Help with identification of maker of glass bowl would be appreciated.

A recent purchase of a mixed lot at an auction turned up this glass bowl. I would appreciate help with the identification of the maker. I did wonder if it were Clutha - don't ask me why.

I think I can see why......my first thought was Scottish.  It reminds me of pieces like this

I have only had a couple of pieces that I thought might be Scottish, and I never managed to identify them.  From memory, the base is important and your photo shows it really clearly.

I will be interested to learn more about it.

Possibly Stevens and Williams Caerleon - has the right look anyway.

Could Nazeing be a contender?

Clutha would be a more irregular shape and possibly more finely blown.
Schneider made bowls this shape.

A photo with a dark background may be useful - should show up the iridescence assuming there is any.

Thank you all for your input. It is greatly appreciated. I will take a photograph of the bowl against a dark background and post it.

Is there any iridesence on the surface? 

[zidori]

Not really. Here it is taken against a dark background.

It does appear to be a bit of a mystery, Ronnie. I can see why you went for it - it does appear to fit in with Ysart styles, they made this shape of bowl too, as I'm sure you know.
(For others, Salvador Ysart trained/worked at Schneider before coming to Scotland with his sons.)

It doesn't look like any of the Nazeing-style of stuff, (which often has an almost crizzle effect in it) that is often described as "Scottish Glass" which is a different mystery all on its own. This does not belong with that.
This is something good. I just don't know what.
