<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 2276, member: 44"]Here is another ruby red piece. It is a covered bowl. There is a frosted or lathe rough medallion with a ruby bird, nest and butterfly and enameled white leaves. A hint of gold trim is around the nest, bird and on the tree/vine. Traces of gold trim are on the ball finial as well as around the middle of the cover. The bottom has a wavy look. The dimensions: stands 4½" to top of cover finial, 2¼" to top of bowl, mouth/opening 2 7/8" diameter, base 2” diameter, 3 7/8” diameter at widest point. Condition: good; does have wear scratches on the bottom; slight edge roughness or possibly a manufacturing flaw. Very minor scratches on the sides and what appears to be drops of the enamel done during manufacturing. Also a small bubble or 2 in the glass. I remember it as a child in the mid 1940s in our house. I do not know where or when my mother got it. It could have been a family piece, I just don't know.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have seen a few other bird motif medallion red glass pieces that either were called Bohemian or the owners didn't know. Some looked right off the boat but none like this bowl and none with the wavy bottom.
