Looks more like Faux Murano which is silly. It could have been some idiot on ebay in Europe engraving something on the bottom and here we are trying to ID it :phew:
Clean and Crisp a Murano twist.
Archimede tops my list.

I'm going with Jaus Murano. Does that make any sense?

I have asked to a friend of mine who sold so many "scavo" glassworks in the past. He was very specialized in this kind of product.
These the info I have:
First of all there were not so may producers in the last 10-15 years. THis at least officially, due to of pollution laws more stricht than in the past and very hard to be respected in old factories. May be somebody else produced them, but in a kind of "unformal" way (it means without to respect the anti-pollution rules and without to declare this production).
The main name is Rossi, who was not located in Murano, but in Venice historical center (! very strange !).
Than Luciano Gambaro, still producing in Murano.
Also Barbini had a more commercial (and cheaper) line approx 10 years ago; I bought some pieces from this company in 1999-2000.
So, on one of them can be "compatible" with this signature.
Therefore I have to came back to the first name of Zane (it really looks as Zane)....

Ciao

thanks Alex and Carolyn,

Looks like "Zane" is the most likely so far,

And "flying free" was correct, it is scavo  :thud:

Alex is right, Sergio Rossi makes modern scavo pieces, but the type of scavo found on your vase is certainly not Rossi's scavo.  I have a piece of his scavo and yours looks nothing like his.  Here is a pic of the piece I have that is made of iridescent scavo by Sergio Rossi.

The signature does kind of look like it says "Zane", but I don't know enough about Zane Murano to know if it is or not.  Your vase is a tough one.

No clue if this means anything or not -- just throwing it out there.  Here is a piece of Glass Factory that is called ZANE ??????????  Just look at the pics, and read what is said.

not sure IF anything at, or helps at all -- just throwing it out there......That is it    :spls: :thud:

I saw that one too, Rose, the other day.  Andrea Tagliapietra for sure but I had no idea he worked for Zane.  There is a lot of unknowns about A. Tagliapietra.  He worked for so many companies and I am just starting to learn some of them.  Of course, I had no idea there was a company called Vetreria Tagliapietra & Barovier until I purchased a piece by them.

@ Martin - thanks for the compliment on my vase.  I purchased the vase when I very first met Anita on Ebay a few years ago.
