Featured Good Morning Everyone! I Need Your Help With a Red Crystal Bowl. Thank You!

Good Morning Everyone! I hope all is well and happy Friday to you! This bowl is a part of the other items I got at the estate sale. This is crystal and is 12 inches wide in diameter and 3 inches high. It is heavy and there are no markings on it. I looked for red crystal bowl in search, but the pattern is more like cut glass or just glass not crystal. I wish it was marked to make my search easier, but it is not and I hope someone will be able to help me with a date or if possible the maker. If you look carefully at one of the images there is like a thumb print on the edge and at the bottom has these slit like marks around the edge. I don’t know if that means anything. Thank you all for your help and enjoy your weekend . Stay well and safe.

 

I love a hunk of red glass. Maybe its got those slits because it sat on a under plate. I always associate a deep red with Italian,probably wrongly. If I remember correctly they achieved that red by using gold ? Just a guess though.

 

Thank you Johnny for responding! I was also thinking French or Germany, but you could be right about Italy.

 

Ruby glass does indeed contain gold. Whitefriars made a great deal of it, too. This isn’t one of theirs though.

 

Thank you Ownedbybear! I appreciate you responding to my post

 

The red glass turns up here in the USA too, but doesn't ring any bells for me.

 

Thank you evelyb30! The estate I got this from the owner had a lot of items from Germany Italy and Japan. She might have been a collector or well travelled .

 

Or just liked red glass. Red and cobalt both have addicts.

 

I am an addict for both
