Lot 103: A Footed Glass Bowl with Internal Swirl and Etched Golfing Scene
A circular glass bowl featuring a flared rim and a thick, solid clear glass pedestal base. The body of the bowl is decorated with an internal, multi-strand swirl of green and white glass canes that spirals upwards from the base. The exterior surface is embellished with an etched figurative scene depicting golfers in early 20th-century attire. The scene includes a golfer in mid-swing, a caddie carrying a golf bag, and another figure in the distance near a flag. Etched text is present near the base of the scene in a stylized, cursive script; however, the characters are faint and not legible as a specific name or maker. An orange adhesive label and a white adhesive label are present on the glass surface, likely relating to inventory or pricing.
Condition report:
The bowl appears to be in good overall condition with no visible chips, cracks, or fractures to the rim or base (photo 1 and 2). The etched decoration is well-defined and exhibits no significant signs of wear or loss (photo 2). The internal glass canes are intact and well-distributed within the glass wall. A small amount of shelf wear may be present on the underside of the heavy base, though it is not clearly visible in the provided angles.
