Not sure what the proper term would be for this piece.
Likely a fruit bowl, but I keep the remotes in it!
Not sure if it's cut glass or mold poured, the design seems too smooth to be cut, but what do I know ?
It measures 14.5 inches across, & is very heavy.
Could it be crystal?
Any info from a glass person would be appreciated!
Thanks, Cheers!!

very beautiful pickrknows:)
is it acid etched marked in white anywhere?
Thanks Sean. I've looked, but see no marks :(
i know this going to sound odd , but check the sides of the base , sometimes they are on there as well , i ve bought waterford and they sometimes have it marked in the oddest parts , and hold up in a well lighted room.
Checked with a magnifying glass, nothing found except the seam lines for the mold pour, was done in 3 sections, very faint mold lines but no stamp:(
It is very heavy, very nicely done, and reflects the light amazingly!
Thanks for your help Bellin & eye!
Thank-you Amber, mustangtony, and Amy also!
