Title: Green bowl
Post by: Dogaman on January 05, 2014, 12:53:19 pm: Greetings,

Pick this up today at the flea market. I liked the color and the shape, which I've seen done in Carnival Glass. It measures 7.5" at the widest point, 3.25 at the highest height, and 1.5" at the lowest height.

Am interested in maker, era, design, and possible value.

Thanks, in advance!

Post by: Dogaman on January 10, 2014, 12:37:57 pm: I am still trying to research this bowl. Per David Doty's Carnival Glass website, the turned-up side makes this a "Hand Grip" bowl.

It's a fool's game to try to find either one to match the one you have. There were so many different makers & mostly the glass inserts were made for each bowl or basket. But it's a beautiful bowl. Good luck with the research. To me that's always the most fun & satisfying. GG

I agree...finding it was great, and the research, while frustrating, is a blast. I liked it and that's what matters. I only paid $4. :D

Your bowl is on the same order as these !! Swung glass or stretch glass,,mid century, LE Smith made some as well as Fenton and a few others !! Yours looks like Fenton to me but just a guess !! Those like yours were done as coffee table centerpieces !!

I have looked under the terms: Slung glass, pulled glass, art glass...and many I just can't remember (Geesh, I AM getting old!). I haven't found anything close to this shape (low bowl with hand grip), but have found similar pea green colors.

As to value and maker, I really don't care. I like it, anyway. I only wanted the information to update my records.

Since starting collecting Carnival Glass, I keep a Word folder with the items' particulars: maker, pattern name, where and when bought for how much, how much it has sold for on the internet, and pics with dimensions.

Yup, I am a neat freak! LOL

Thanks for the link!

I typed the local name above "slung glass" slung is a Texas word !! Try swung glass or stretch glass !! I remember those bowls from the 60`s !!

Post by: Dogaman on January 10, 2014, 04:08:19 pm: I done those, too. Also, "Wave". No luck. I'll just keep browsing the pics. I love it, anyway! Thanks for the leads!

Post by: Dogaman on January 10, 2014, 04:15:24 pm: This is close to shape, only it has two sides bent up.

Leaning toward this being a Fostoria piece.
Title: Re: Green bowl
Post by: mart on January 10, 2014, 05:14:45 pm: Fostoria is possible,, as is Viking Art glass and probably others !! Pm Wendy to take a look !!!
Title: Re: Green bowl
Post by: greenacres on January 10, 2014, 05:20:41 pm: Possibly Tiffin.

I saw this as I was looking at Fostoria glass. Similar glass style.

Title: Re: Green bowl
Post by: greenacres on January 10, 2014, 07:44:26 pm: I think i'm going to get out the old glass books. :)
Title: Re: Green bowl
Post by: greenacres on January 10, 2014, 08:03:44 pm: I hope Wendy agrees, but from what I see it looks like Heirloom pattern , by Fostoria. Made from 1959-70. It came in several colors. I think yours is called green opal.
Title: Re: Green bowl
Post by: Dogaman on January 10, 2014, 08:07:22 pm: Green,

I lean the same way. But the ones I've found haven't had that "slag" or "wavy" glass look. That's what preventing me from making a definitive decision.

Post by: mart on January 10, 2014, 08:09:38 pm: Bet she knows !! Although she hasn`t been here a lot since the disaster with her boiler !!
Title: Re: Green bowl
Post by: greenacres on January 10, 2014, 08:11:06 pm: I agree with you. That's why I'm kind of questioning myself. The base is a little different too from what I see.

Post by: rustyzin on January 13, 2014, 06:16:59 pm: Did you put a black light on it? I will check all my Vaseline glass books.

Haven't done the black light thing yet to see if it is Vaseline Glass. Will let you know when I locate a black light.

Thanks for the help.

Just wanted to keep y'all up to date on the mysterious green bowl. I contacted the local Glass Collectors' club and they came up with it being a "Vetro Eseguito Murano Glass" bowl. I have since googled that and came up with similar shapes and slag type glass. However, nothing in the same handle grip shape.

Overall, I am pleased with my $4 investment! Thanks for all your help!

Thanks. Hubby and I are still newbies at judging glass, but with everyone's help, we're learning!

Thanks, again, for everyone's patience and willingness to share your expertise!
