    Hi Everyone,
    I have this glass bowl vase in a light green colour with iridescence. If you look closely at the glass it has a slight crackle to it. I was wondering if it might be unsigned Steuben, as I know that they used only labels on some pieces. Then again, it might be anything, I really don't know. It's a nice looking piece, though - I don't know if the way that the top edge is finished is any clue. It has a visible pontil mark on the underside. Measures about 7" in height and 8" in diameter. Any ideas? Iridescent-Bowl-Vase-.jpg Iridescent-Bowl-Vase-1.jpg

    Nice photos. Can the glassies see the pontil mark? I don't think this is Steuben, but I'm not an expert or even close. The real experts will need to see what they're dealing with.

    Still waiting for a glassie. The pontil mark looks too rough for one of the fancier glass houses.

    Well, I am far from a Steuben expert so I could be very wrong, but I'm not seeing the quality I would expect. The decorative finish seems thin and kind of bland to me :( I hope I'm wrong.

    Thanks Marie, I appreciate your input. Maybe this is Bohemian - as I mentioned, I'm stumped on this one. The reason why I thought maybe Steuben is because when I did a Google Images search, the only somewhat close matches were Steuben Verre de Soie. None, however, were exactly this shape and none had the same glass "drip" finish around the top rim. There were a number of matches, but here's the link to one that I picked because it also has a rough pontil mark: https://www.goantiques.com/steuben-verre-de-693352

    My phone made me crazy last night, when I had to reset it. The idiots who created it put the emoji key in between the space bar and the At sign. Uhmmm no. No emojis in passwords.
