I am assuming there is nothing on the bottom ?? Can`t see the entire bird,, s it bird of paradise ??
-
hi mart
the bird is not whole due to being at top but wing each side of that head in deco stepped format
I believe it to be a crane or swan but just a guess lol
no marks unfortunately :(
cheers

The more I look at the features, it almost looks like a modern Asian theme...in which case I would have to say it could be the Fenghuang!

I did not find anything similar !! I like it whatever it is !!
-
thanks KC - agree it probably is a phoenix, i believe 1930's-1940's due to shape and design especially to wings of bird and stepped metal stand
it is a lovely little bowl fingers crossed the UK market thinks so too lol
-
Fingers and toes crossed for you !! Good luck !!
-
If it wasn't so dark .... I would guess it to be Imperial's "Cathay" glass. ??? ???

One never knows "if" or "when" an .... odd, special, rare, prototype or pre-production ... piece of glassware will show up on a Garage Sale table.
I know from experience, being a resident of/near the locale where many of the older glass-producing companies were located.
The right quality, type and quantity of silica sand..... and cheap/free Natural Gas was like a "magnet" to the glass producers in the 19th and 20th Century.
To wit:
Over 450 companies and locations have produced hot glass since the first glass was produced in Wellsburg in the second decade of the 19th century.
