murano glass lamp
« on: May 13, 2007, 02:12:08 PM »
a very nice piece, it measures about 13" high, based on the style of and old oil lamp, the chimney has a spiral rib effect and also has gold leaf within the glass, the base inner is pink and also has gold leaf within the glass and cased in thick clear glass, is it a Toso piece?

Hi,

It could really have been made by a dozen or more different factories.  Unless you find an identical one with an original factory label, all you'll know for sure is that it's circa 1950s Murano glass.

I thought it was a new question until I looked at the date. When I read Laura's answer, I thought I'd entered the Twilight Zone.  :ho:
