Topic: Murano? Corroso? Signed Decanter with Fab Colours!

[Microcefalus]

Hi, I'm from Italy and new on this forum.

I think it's Franco Moretti, contemporary glass maker in Murano.

Here is his site: http://www.francomoretti.com/INDEX.HTML

Ciao,

Hi Marco, and welcome to GMB! Thanks for the link.

I can't see anything there resembling the decanter. Perhaps an earlier creation though.

There are some very nice QuickTime movies on here if you click around

You might try searching "Memphis" designs by Ettore Sottsass

they have that look - I don't know about the finish or signature though

I am sure there is better information than this available but just to give you a general impression of the style:

I'm 100% sure it's not Memphis, I've got quite a lot of Sottsas and numerous catalogues and nothing in this vein.

Then that would have been a wild goose chase.  thanks for catching that Paul!
