    This little bowl was sold to me for a very little price as a Holmegaard bowl. Unfortunately it's not signed. It has a diameter of 12 cm, and stands 6.5 cm high. It could belong to the the Cascade series by Per Lütken. Here are examples from it:

    But I am not sure. The colored layer is on the outside of the bowl. On the inside it has a layer of transparent glass in a very light blue tone. It's freely formed and rather heavy. Has anyone more informations?

      Thank you, artislove, do you think, it is cascade?

      Hey, I hadn't seen this one!!! I would say it is not... the Cascade colours usually go straight up or in a swirl, always in the same sense... this one looks strange in this respect. Maybe you could take two or thre more pictures showing how it looks from different angles.

      As for the shape... I have never seen a Cascade or a Lütken piece in this shape before, but it may just mean it's a rare one.

      Dear Astro, I add all the pictures I have made. Perhaps I'll take further ones, more systematically.

      These give a complete idea of the whole piece... and I would say it's not Cascade... "95% sure of it." :) But is a nice one anyway! I showed to Carlos without telling him about being or not being a Cascade and he loved it.

      this cascade is better than a lot of the holmgaards ive seen love the swirl in it i miss that in lot of the "known"versions

      @artislove, yes, and I like the colors. Nevertheless - it would be good to know the maker! You should never trust the dealers.
