This is a lovely piece—very much in that refined mid-century French glass tradition.

Vintage Frosted Glass Crane Bowl – Possibly Verrerie d’Art de Lorraine / Daum Nancy Style
.
A beautifully atmospheric vintage frosted glass bowl, delicately decorated with a procession of wading birds—cranes or flamingos—captured in elegant, flowing poses.
.
The bowl features a softly scalloped rim and a subtle smoky-grey tint, with acid-etched decoration that gives the birds a misty, almost dreamlike presence. At the centre, a gently spiralled texture evokes rippling water, reinforcing the tranquil, nature-inspired scene.
.
This is a piece that sits perfectly within the French art glass tradition of the mid-20th century, where nature, movement, and light were central themes.
.
Maker Attribution
The bowl is marked “FRANCE”, suggesting export ware. While not signed to a specific factory, the quality and style are strongly reminiscent of:
.
Daum Nancy style acid-etched glass
.
Verrerie d’Art de Lorraine
.
Renée lalique style and influence or similar French decorative glass houses producing elegant export pieces in the 1930s–1950s
.
The combination of frosted relief decoration, naturalistic bird motifs, and organic form is very much aligned with that school.
.
Condition
In very good vintage condition:
No chips or cracks observed
.
Light surface wear consistent with age scratches to base exactly what you want shows it's age 
.
Etched decoration remains crisp and beautifully defined
.
Approximate Dimensions
Diameter: approx. 36 cm

Why We Love It
This is one of those quietly striking pieces—understated at first glance, but full of detail and atmosphere. The birds feel almost suspended in motion, and the frosted glass catches the light beautifully. It works just as well as a centrepiece as it does a decorative object on a sideboard.
