Is this Murano or Modern vase?
« on: November 22, 2014, 11:49:47 PM »
Hello, just wondering  - I bought this vase today but unsure of the maker. Could this be Murano or modern Chinese vase?
Its a very large and chunky vase, measuring at 26.5cm tall...No markings
Any info or comments are much appreciated
cheers

With a bottom finish like that I'd vote for Chinese. The grade of polishing isn't to Italian standards, the colour is a bit too Chinese and the overall precision of Italian glass is lacking.
