Green bowl

[Dogaman]

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!

Wendy has some swung glass,,this is similar !!

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.

I've seen that style of bowl in asymmetrical bride's bowls/baskets usually in quite elaborate Art Nouveau designs.  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

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.

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 !!

Mart,

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 !!

[Dogaman]

I done those, too. Also, "Wave". No luck. I'll just keep browsing the pics. I love it, anyway! Thanks for the leads!

This is close to shape, only it has two sides bent up.

Leaning toward this being a Fostoria piece.

[mart]

Fostoria is possible,, as is Viking Art glass and probably others !!  Pm Wendy to take a look !!!

Possibly Tiffin.

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

I PM'd Wendy. Let's see what road her expertise leads us down! Thanks for all the input.

I think i'm going to get out the old glass books.
