19th Century, and possibly earlier ... wonderful PINCERED OPENWORK WIDE RIM on CLEAR GLASS BOWL. It was likely made in Italy, but other countries made Facon de Venise glass ("in the Venetian style"), as well. A manufacturing anomaly appears at the rim where two internal quasi "cracks" appear, usually the result of rapid temperature changes in the annealing oven. Such anomalies do not change with age, and they only slightly affect value. Neither can be felt on the outside, nor will they ever. A rare piece of glass, where the rim has been created by using pincers to shape molten rods of clear glass into this basket-like effect. The bowl base is highly polished, with a concave area where the pontil was snapped; a bit of the original pontil mark may still be seen. There is much wear to the base, affirming considerable age to this piece. It measures about 8" diameter at the rim, 2-1/2" tall, and the bowl graduates from 2-3/4" diameter base to a 4" opening at the rim. $18 US Shipping |
