HELP IDENTIFYING LOVELY GLASS VASE? ID = Fidenza, Italy
« on: November 04, 2013, 01:01:59 AM »
I have this lovely vase.It has no seams or makers mark.It weighs about 4lbs or 1.8 kg.The base is octagonal and like cut glass with a fan type pattern that changes into a bark affect. I really have no idea but would love some help identifying.I purchased from a deceased estate for $2

I would guess 1970s is from the style and one of the very big Italian makers of tableware and similar

There's a small one of these (5") at the local charity shop. Looks to be moulded glass.
