Murano? Corroso? Signed Decanter with Fab Colours!
« Reply #10 on: May 26, 2006, 10:48:59 PM »

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,

Marco

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  :)

Ettore Sottsass Memphis line perhaps?

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 hope this helps,

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