This is the most recent item I have come up with at auction today. It is a beautiful large blown uranium glass bowl with applied flowers. This piece measures 9" from flower to flower and 5 1/2" tall. It is very heavy thick glass. The bowl was sold as Stevens and Williams and it very well could be, but since I have been to the CW school of glass, I have kept Harrach in the back of me head on this one also. It is by far, the nicest applied floral piece that I have in the collection. Thanks for looking.
Thanks Czechman...
Gorgeous
Thanks Greatsnowyowl....your thought? Harrach or Stevens and Williams...or someone else..
Thanks Bellin...
Dunno. I'd have to spend some time looking at some books. I lean towards Harrach. It's got a few points that are very bohemian but I really don't know. I've never seen the morning glory before. top notch whatever it is.
Thanks for your thoughts Greatsnowyowl. Thanks for the love Vetraio and nldionne.
Thanks walksoftly, macart and mac63 for the loves

Thanks antiquarius...
I agree with you, it's wonderful!
Thanks spunkysmom...
Very Very Nice, I love applied glass like this!
Thank you for kind comments.
This is a very fine and scarce piece. I would advise you edit your posting so that it appears in the Bohemian Glass category as well. This will the attract the attention of the experts in Harach glass.
However this would appear to be an example of Mat-Su-No-Ke technique, mostly done by Stevens & Williams but also by other Stourbridge glasshouses such as Bolton & Mills, and Webb.
The technique involves the application of large, solid glass decorative elements to the body of the piece in the kiln. Fruits are more often seen, Google Matsunoke to see other examples.
Vetrissimo, thank you for your comments on this piece. I have done as you indicated and added Bohemian art glass as a secondary category. Would love to hear from Harrach glass experts as to whether could be a Harrach piece. But Stevens and Williams or other Stourbridge Glasshouses is fine with me also.
BEAUTIFUL--don't know how I missed this one.
It is NOT mat- su- no- ke. That technique is the patented application of pre formed glass florets and doesn't apply to everything with applied flowers.
The larger applied flowers (and their colors) along with the color of the stems would suggest Harrach to me.

Thank you Scott for the love and the comment. I am very happy with this piece being Harrach.
I was told that someone was doing a Harrach book soon-- maybe already out there? Interest and values always seem to increase once a book is put out.

I would love to know when one comes out. Harrach glass is relatively unknown here in my area amongst collectors and yet they have had such a large influence in glass during 1800's in Europe.
Someone on CW informed me about it a while back-- not sure of the status.
