    Hi I was wondering if anyone could help me identify these 2 glass bowls. The first bowl sounds like leas crystal. The second one looks bohemian? But not lead crystal. Any information would be great thanks!

    Hi Rink. I can't ID them for you right now. The last picture of the 2nd bowl looks like it has seams on the sides. if that's the case, molded and not crystal.

    The first bowl is quite interesting. Did you examine it closely for a mark or signature? Are the frosted parts Raised or cut out. Looks like somebody was trying to imitate Lalique. But it's giving me a Scandinavian vibe. Sorry, that's all I got.

    Thanks bdigger. I know the second isnt lead crystal. The first one I couldnt find a signature or anything. The frosted parts are cut out.

    I believe the second one is this - Classique by Lancaster Colony:

    Apparently Indiana Glass also made a version. I was able to find a reference of a goblet that was sold to Rainbow Glass for decoration (before they switched to making art glass), according to this entry at the chatabout gallery:

    Edited to add: Lancaster Colony owned Indiana Glass for a time, and Indiana produced glass for them to sell under their brand name (reissues of Indiana patterns, purchased molds from other companies, etc.). I couldn't say how the overlap dates your piece.

    Also if you were going to list it for sale how would you title it?

    Glass with lead in the formula can be and is pressed in a mold. In the US makers used crystal for colorless glass in the EU is must have 24% lead content.
