Quick geography lesson: Majorca or Mallorca is the largest island of Spain; the nearest Spanish mainland is the region known as Catalonia

Found this piece today, and had the feeling I had seen it before...

I got a little excited when I saw the same vase in Leslie Pina's book attributed to Venini and Zecchin, but a quick search put things straight ;D

Stands a little over 16 cm (6.5 inches) high, 4 marks from the pontil to the base.

So Gordiola I guess?
Anybody who wants to persuade me that it is a Zecchin piece from the 1920s is very welcome 8)

Are there any real Zecchin pieces to be seen on the web? -- To my eye all of these vases, either attributed to Murano or to Gordiola, look more or less the same...

Thanks
Michael
