Peloton glass is pretty hard to find, especially within Australia. I’ve been collecting it for 30 years & have found only a modest proportion of my collection of it locally. When it does turn up, I’m on it ASAP!
This pretty bowl turned up on eBay AU recently, it failed to sell the first time around & got relisted a lot cheaper. So it was time for me to strike!
It is made from two layers of cased glass, clear over an opaline white interior, with applied Peloton threads in pink, blue & yellow. The top rim is pulled up into four peaks, with a fine rigaree crest. There is an applied footed base of leaf - like form. Underneath is a rough pontil mark.
As can be seen in the last photo, this new addition makes a perfect pair with another bowl of the same design, & a trio with the larger bowl pictured in the centre, which has a clear - opalescent colouration.
Bohemian origin, circa 1880s.
