[QUOTE="nastina.nastea, post: 9504320, member: 81895"]Hi dear Members, Today I bought this interesting art glass bowl and there are so many questions about it. First of all it is signed: "Jun. Ed - 98 Bertil Vallein". However, I haven't seen before Bertil's signature to be signed as a full name, all items I saw are signed "B.Vallein". Also I haven't seen year to be signed on B.vallein's items. And there is no a model number on this item like on others from his collections. The bowl itself is very similar to those from Chico collection. But this four footed base is something unusual, I couldn't find any other like this. Generally it looks like the bowl is from one stylistic and the base - from another and they were mixed together. I wonder whether it is some kind of sample (maybe prototype) that never became a part of collection, or it is a one of a kind item. Or could it be a fake?? Would appreciate any ideas and suggestions)[ATTACH=full]449760[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]449761[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]449762[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]449763[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]449764[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
