Purple Art Glass Bowl

Any help with the maker?

 

These were made by a Scandi factory and also a British one. My brain has entirely lost the Scandi one, but the British was Ravenhead from memory.

 

Yup, Ravenhead Flair was the British version. The Scandi was Lasisepat Finland.

 

Check it under fluorescent light for color change

 

OBB fabulous that you know that!

I've come across this bowl/candle holder (whatever it is) a few times in clear. I even snapped a photo of it once while I looked for an ID. I vaguely think I remember finding one with a label but now I'm not sure as it wasn't either of the two names you listed. I wonder if someone else made it or very similar to it also.

 

sis, these are fairly common here, and also much debated, as the variants are so very alike. I've owned and sold some. There may well be another maker that I've forgotten.

 

Viking Glass also made a version called Finnish Crown. The Viking version was produced here in the US.

Thanks for all the replies. With that color likely Viking?

 

Yes, quite possible. They did manufacture purple although I can't vouch for this shade in this mold.

I was going to say Viking as well. I have two at the store. One is clear, the other the wisteria shade. I think one even has a label on it. Will have to check tomorrow. That is if I can remember.
I was surprised that they are also being said to be British and Scandanavian.

 

Not just said to be, but known to be. I've had the Ravenhead variant in its box. The Lasi one is also pretty well known here, and both are in assorted books. Not seen a purple one though, so an American version makes sense.
