    This bowl is pretty big - about 12" across, and deep - about 4". I think the design is acid etched, but I'm not sure. It looks fairly new to me.
    Does anyone know who made it, and how the design was done?

    I would guess sand-blasted. It's simpler and leaves that matte appearance. I'd also look to LE Smith just because that's where I always look first when black glass is involved.

    I would try Fenton also as that etch looks like one I had on a stretch glass plate.

    I think this has age to it. If you hold it to strong light can you see purple through it? If so, it is amethyst glass.

    Hi Book,
    If you inverted it, it would be a perfect side profile.:rolleyes: Now I have to copy and flip it.
