Featured Spatter Glass Bowl

Any suggestions on the origin?
Thanks

 

I had a similar bowl that turned out to be Murano. It was the same coloring - white with a few colored dots. It's a nice bowl.

 

Was there a rough pontil scar? Also, the form here is a bit irregular.

 

I vote Italian.

 

With that rough pontil I vote Chinese.

 

Since when rough pontil equals Chinese? It could be but for me that's not enought evidence of Chinese origin.

 

When have you ever seen a piece of Murano WITH a rough pontil? All my opinion of course,and you know what they say about those.

 

Looks like Blenko "Rock" limited edition to me (1982 only). I've never seen a piece of this in person, but you can compare / measure / etc here:

How in the world did you look into Blenko? I would never thought of it. Decoration and the off-shape seems to be right. Just have to find the exact # as the catalog images are very blurry.

Thanks a lot UncleChuckTx

 

Glad to see you found a match. The measurements on the Worthpoint listing are in line with what are stated in the Blenko catalog (which are never going to match exactly for hand-formed glass).

I'm not sure why the images were blurry for you. Were you able to access the full-size catalog pages? If not, you can click to enlarge the catalog pages in the viewer frame, or click the icon in the top-right corner of the frame. It says "Pop-out" when your mouse hovers on top - it allows you to view the catalogs from the actual PDF files stored on google. You can also download most of the catalogs once you are viewing the google version of the files.

 

Thanks. I am browing on my phone. Got it, viewing on google docs is much better.
