The Glass is a deep red-ruby pigeon-blood type of amberina, which gets its luscious depth & breadth of color, from the fact that this bowl was kiln-fired with real gold having 1st been thrown into the kiln. When held up to the sun, 1 can actually see the gold in the glass.

The glass is also of further interest because it is awash in sparkling iridescence, & the patina is of a wrinkle like finish. Very interesting piece of art glass. The bowl has no chips or cracks.

The bowl bears straw marks from cooling after firing & some minor occlusions (air) in the glass. The shows only very mild signs of wear.
