This Victorian bowl is made from clear glass, with pulled up trailed decoration im pale blue & white. The bowl measures 8.5 cm tall, 13.8 cm across the double crimped top rim, & 6 cm across the base, which has a polished out pontil mark.
I believe this is most likely of English origin. Powell (later known as Whitefriars) has been suggested as a maker. Whoever made it, it is a fine example of Victorian glass.
It's lovely. Has an almost Italianate look to it.
Thank you, & yes, a definite Venetian influence is evident.
Must be even nicer in person, great find.
wonderful
You're right, rockbat - this is definitely better in person - fine & delicate. Glad you're enjoying it.
Thanks also, kivatinitz!
