Just kidding about the prize. I am stumped again. Any ideas?? I HATE taking digital fotos of clear glass. So very difficult unless you have special lighting to set up. as you can tell, I used regular "day" light.
I think you all know I really appreciate all of your ideas and help

Hi Paloma,
It looks like Cambridge Caprice to me too but I'm not sure. The swirls are so far apart and the Caprice I have has feet on the bottom.
Max - You're the expert here. Are there Caprice pieces that don't have the feet?

Yes, there are some pieces that don't have feet. In checking my reference book, I also found that Imperial bought some of the molds from Cambridge and reproduced pieces. They called their line Curlicue. It's possible that the bowl pictured is part of that line.

Damn, this is why I don't mess with glass. It is harder to ID than china.

I'll go with the Cambridge Caprice vote too.
Nah, just kidding, I wouldn't know Cambridge Caprice if it walked up and bit me in the leg. 
Good luck with the piece Paloma!

paloma; a suggestion for taking pics like this piece. If you use a white bacground I think it will show better.

I use a black felt background on clear glass objects, it makes the glass appear to sparkle. You might loose definition on a white background.

Another great way to shoot clear glass is to place it against a white background and shine light from behind it. Before that sounds complicated, let me explain.
Take a white sheet, cloth or even a (big enough) white sheet of paper. Place it against a well lit window that has light shining in. That can be complicated at times because it hasn't been sunny here for awhile now...
Then, place the piece of glass on the window sill and start shooting.
Here's an example of what I'm talking about:
You have to add some light to the front depending on the piece, but this style can be attractive for cut glass and pressed glass as well:
Hope this helps a bit.
