Hi Nev

This is the nearest I can find to our L shaped bowl  - its a Bayel piece as it has a gold label but no marks to the base.

To anyone who remembers - a question popped into my head.  Didn't Davidson make something like this at some point?  or was that a red herring and never happened?  Anyone remember those posts many years ago?

I think it was Wayne of 20th Century Glass who'd come across one of those red and yellow pulled bowls with a Davidson label, but that was the only one found so it's likely it found its way erroneously on the piece. Davidson never made much sense. I think he's since found some more with labels from Spanish glassmakers Viartec so they now seem the likeliest candidates.

Oh thank you!  That's good to know.  I could never reconcile Davidson and the pulled glass object.  Thanks so much for clarifying ... and remembering!

Hello Gary, the green glow visible under UV is almost certainly from manganese in the glass. It was added to clear glass to remove the green tint caused by Iron Oxide in the sand used to make the glass. I'm still looking for a maker of my piece, if I find one I'll let you know.

Hi Nev
Thanks for the explanation of the glow in the glass under UV light. I am learning everyday. It is so fascinating.
I will keep looking for a maker on the tall bowl and if I find anything I will let you know.
Thanks for all your endeavors
With best regards
