Green bowl

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.

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.

Bet she knows !! Although she hasn`t been here a lot since the disaster with her boiler !!

I agree with you. That's why I'm kind of questioning myself. The base is a little different too from what I see.

Did you put a black light on it? I will check all my Vaseline glass books.

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!

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 !!

Rusty,

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.

Greetings,

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!

Good to know !

Now you can place it on your shelf, admire it and think of the green, green glass of home

Ipcress and Ice,

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!
