Topic: Murano Candle sticks with Pulveri?

[ardy]

Hi All

We just got back from a fabulous trip to Tasmania and looked up a few antique shops. We found this pair on the last day at the bottom of a case. One of them has a petal end missing but the other is perfect.

Are these common? Anyone know who might have made them?

For those of you interested I paid about $US90 for the pair which the person running the shop says she paid for them, who knows. I like them very much so I am happy with this purchase.

Also bought a Murano light base that I will detail when I have the photo's in the computer.

That is definitely gold powder inclusion, and as you may guess, it does not come cheap. Those are quite spectacular  :thup:

My first guess would be Salviati , later i will get the books out .

Thank you very much Ivo and John. I am very interested in what they are as we like them very much and feel lucky to have found them.

John, who is Salviati this is not a name that I have seen on the site?

Salviati is one of the most famous names in Italian glass , just google it . Regards jp , another one you can try is Barovier .

Hi John

I went through the google images last night looking at both Salviati and Barovier. Didnt find anything like them but Barovier had some candlesticks that had a similar look but appear to me to be more detailed.

I assume that as it comes up on google images it is OK to use the image as a reference.

Those ones are cordonato d'oro - a style which Barovier's well known for, and as you say, not really similar to yours which are delicate and fine.
