Item: GL-3 This freeform bowl is something of a mystery. The coloring is a peachy pink with fine seed bubbles, all rather like a piece of Stevens and Williams (or Webb?) Rosaline, but the shape is much more like what you would expect from Murano. Something about it also reminds me of a piece of Schneider I had, but then it would almost certainly be marked. Whoever made it was either skilled or lucky because the wave and line have a more pleasing effect than most similar bowls. Diameter is about 13 1/2" with a maximum height of about 3 1/2". There's an outside chance that this comes from the 70's, but with the coloring/bubbles and the wear on the base, it could also go back to the 1930's. With a little luck there's someone out there for whom it's not a mystery at all. Condition is very good. The only problem is a series of scuff marks underneath the rim. My guess is that they're some kind of tool mark and almost certainly in the making. Of course, all our sales are fully guaranteed. Price is $125 plus $12.50 for Priority Mail and insurance within the U.S. International shipping rates quoted on request. To buy an item (or more), just get in touch through the e-mail link, or you can call us at 812-467-0191. (A busy signal is still common, I'm afraid since we only have one phone line.) It works best if you include the "item" code to let us know which item or items you're interested in. The code is at the beginning of each listing and is usually two letters followed by a number. We'll confirm that the item is still available, make sure we agree on the total, and answer any questions you wish to throw our way. Checks or money orders should be made "Forrest OR Virginia Poston". We also take Paypal (including credit card payments). We try to ship in one or two days after payment arrives, and we're generous with the bubblewrap and styrofoam peanuts. If there's something you'd like us to find for you, let us know. We're just itching to please you, or maybe that was Poison Ivy we got into. Remember that all proceeds go to support good causes: my spouse, our cats (see the "staff" here), our creditors, my auction addiction, and the plumbing project that never ends. |
