The seller of the vase, Sabine, sounds very nice, and enjoyed reading the discussions,
she worries about joining the board because of her English, but i told her we have many
nationalities on here, and im sure we will understand and welcome her!  Grin

Andy:

I was looking at the other pieces in the last picture in your first post. Were those in the lot of four you bought? They look all Czech. BoBA has identified somewhere else the one on the right (green top, maroonish/brown base) as Palacek for Skrdlovice. If you bought those four pieces for less than three figures, I'm even more envious.

Hi David,
no it wasnt those ones, i know they are Czech (couple of tall Mdina in the background)
It came with this glass box, almost certainly Mandruzatto,

http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,29035.0.html
this whopper,
http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,29033.0.html
which i think is probably Murano and has some age, i think you had some doubts on that one
and a pinky blue fluted, probably Murano 60s 70s
http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,32491.0.html
No definite attribution for any of them  :'(
I still think Murano is most likely for them all

Sorry no pictures, but i saw a very similar Sommerso vase at an auction last week, it didnt have the
blue wings, but had a very similar 'architechural' shape, i have no doubts it came from the same factory,
and again, no doubt it was a good 40 or 50 years old, needed a lot of cleaning.
Estimate was 30-50, i left a bid of 80 and it sold for £120  :'(

Saw this vase yesterday and thought of the vase that started this thread.

Sadly this photo does not show it but the red/amber/pale blue colour combo seemed quite a close match. If it does not sell I should be able to get more photos of it next week.

Andy I have inadvertently started a new thread on a very similar vase to yours here - just wanted to make sure you didn't miss it

With ref to the new vase on the thread from flying free,

http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,41541.0.html

Im posting some pictures of another vase i found, i think i got it at a local auction a year or 2 ago,bad memory!
after the first one, it hasnt got wings, or twists, but i feel its very probably from the same origins.

Andy, I would feel comfortable in saying that those 2 are from the same maker. The colours and style match perfectly...that is a very good score!  Mr Green
