<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tolw, post: 934936, member: 12064&quot;]We have been looking for this bowl for at least past 10 years, probably more. No marks on the crystal flowers, or the bowl itself, which appears to be blown with a ground and polished pontil.</p><p><br /></p><p>The crystal flowers are very clear, and almost remind me of something like Hoya, but again, not marked anywhere.</p><p><br /></p><p>The large blown bowl looks like it could be from almost anywhere they blow quality glass - France, Italy, your guess is as good as mine.</p><p><br /></p><p>The base that it all sits in is interesting. It appears gold plated, over steel or iron. Not unheard of, as some very expensive lighting &amp; decorative accessory companies do the same thing. There was nothing but black felt on the bottom of the gold base, not even a outline of a tag.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 11 flowers are thick and very clear glass or crystal, each held on with a brass ball. There are plastic spacers on them to make sure they don&#039;t rub the metal - it is well made.</p><p><br /></p><p>We purchased this out of a home, along with Daum, scarce Erte crystal pieces, other French and Italian art glass, so the original owners had good taste.</p><p><br /></p><p>I sure hope someone has a clue!</p><p><br /></p><p>It measures 16&quot;W x about 8-1/2&quot;H in the stand[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
