Circa early 1950's. Has a light emerald green tinge to it colourwise. Measures about 6 " by 4 1/2 " by 1 3/4 " high. Nice and thick and chunky. Some would … Circa early 1950's. Has a light emerald green tinge to it colourwise. Measures about 6 " by 4 1/2 " by 1 3/4 " high. Nice and thick and chunky. Some would refer this bowl or ashtray as a golf green bowl as it resembles a putting green on a golf course. This shape and piece is a forerunner to the classic sommerso geode bowls made soon afterwards. It is very rare to find this style of Murano glass. I grade this piece about 8.3 / 10. There are no chips or cracks , but the edges will exhibit some very faint roughness in a few spots. I don't think that I should be that hard on the grading with this piece as it still the nicest one I have seen in this style, making it a fine addition to the glass items offered on this site. Designed with a modernist approach as well. Rare. Price: $60.00 USD

This looks … An outstanding piece of precision control bubble work. BY Floris Meydam of Holland , 1913 - 2011 . Unsigned but marked " Mk " in the ground out pontil recession. This looks to be owner done as opposed to artist done. The piece exhibits good age and wearing on the base. Condition is excellent or better with no chips or flakes or cracks. There is a small section of scratchiness on the side , but doesn't detract. Measures 4 " high by 4 " maximum diameter. Light greenish colour. Museum quality in all respects. Getting very popular and probably a little underrated as control bubble glass goes from the mid - century. Price: $219.00 CDN
