Amber Iridised Glass Bowl with Small Silvery Inclusions, c. 1885
A substantial bowl of iridised amber glass with silvery inclusions; 6˝ inches (16.3cm) top diameter, 4.1 inches (10.5cm) high; weight 570g. Presumably mould blown, the body has forty two rounded ribs (more prominent on the interior); the rim is ground off and polished, and decorated with a clear glass trail of rigaree. The bowl is supported on three clear iridescent glass rustic ribbed pattern feet with ground off tips. The pale amber glass body has an iridescent surface sheen to the exterior and interior, and there are numerous small, silvery inclusions within the glass body. No visible pontil mark. A very similar bowl is shown in: ‘Victorian Decorative Glass…’ by Mervyn Gulliver (Schiffer, Atglen PA, 2002), page 223 – see photo 4. He says that the bowl is probably of English manufacture, and dating from about 1885. He also says that the inclusions are of silver foil fragments, but the opinion of the GMB members is that they are, in fact, mica flakes.
