Topic: I.D please: Ingrid glass, West Germany??? Barbini?

[BAINSY]

Hi, i got this for christmas.  Im thinking its Ingrid glass, West Germany?  Also would anyone know the designer?  It measures 6inches high x 5.5inches wide, and has a random bubble pattern.  Any ideas would be much appreciated, many thanks.

Not sure if anyone saw this, but still struggling with this I.D.

Not sure what it is but I'd sooner vote generic Murano than Ingridglas...

Hi Ivo, thanks for your reply.  That's totally thrown me, i know what Murano is, but what is generic Murano? Sorry if im being thick!

I had one of these in amber a long time ago and was told by a member of the whitefriars site it was Alfredo Barbini, ive added a link to my one

Generic means typical of Murano workmanship but not attributable to any one Murano maker (unless we find a labelled/signed version).

The plot thickens.  Are both of you saying that this is definately an Alfredo Barbini piece?  How much did you sell your gold one for? Have typed in his name and struggling to find the same vase as mine???
