Topic: Can anyone help? Green vase identification... Murano?

[jonchellycain]

please dont shout at me... its highly likely im well off base
I was looking through Leslie Pina's book Italian Glass Century 20, and on page 28 it has 3 Alfredo Barbini pieces with very similar looking lobes, cased, with flat polished bases, although they dont appear to be angled like this (not easy to tell from the picture).
But on page 65 it has 3 more vases all lobed, chunky and cased, the third one has angled lobes (the angle is sharper than this one) all attributed to Seguso Vetri d'Arte, there is another one on page 66 with curved lobes.
And finally on page 96 there is 2 by Fratelli Toso with lobes although the lobes look the least like the ones on this vase they do seem to curve slightly towards the base.

I'm not going to shout at you - it's a lead worth following.  :kissy:

Thank you, Michelle...  I will gladly look into it.

I truly appreciate everyone's help!

These ribbed vases were also made in fair numbers in Murano. It looks heavy and quite well made. A few companies made them so you might not even find a specific maker, even if someone else thinks my Murano guess is reasonable.

I have no idea either.  Kinda reminds me of this item of mine:

Perhaps a wee shift to the Murano board might help?

Kind Moderators?

[Anik R]

Yes, maybe a shift to the Murano board would be a good idea    Thank you!

Antiquerose123 -- I think your vase is charming!  It looks like a bonbon wrap    Maybe both you and I will learn more about our vases, with some very kind help.  By the way, I'm also a Canadian although I've been living in Poland for the past 12 years.

Hello again  ...

a polite bump for this green 12-lobed cased-in-clear (the outside looks transparent when help up to the light) vase...

Could it be Italian?  Again, I've searched and searched, but haven't been able to find the same or nearly-the-same vase.

Thank you for looking!

Reminds me of these Murano lamp bases, I know these have a hole in the base but do look similar or wishful thinking Lol

Thank you for taking the time to reply, Chris 

It does look somewhat similar, minus the hole and air bubbles... another difference is that every 3rd lobe on mine is a little bigger than the other 2. 

I guess I'll have to satisfy myself with a 'probably Italian' answer, and as David said, without finding a specific maker.   

Thanks again!
