Title: Can someone Check this out ?
Post by: ParkerFmly on September 24, 2005, 04:10:25 AM: I have this glass piece and would like to know what you all think, where this thing ( bowl, dish ? ) may have originated or who might have made this piece.
By going thru some very helpful links in another post I think that the piece was created using the Murrine Applicato technique on Opaque white glass / with gold / silver foil then overlaid with colorless glass. The dish has a 1 CM clear glass coating. It measures 9 inches

Thank you all in advance for any help you can give me on this.

Nice Murano style bowl you have there. :)

Here's a similar one only without the silver inclusions.

I had tried to included the link to the item as posted on EBAY - but I guess I didn't get it right. Its listed on EBAY as
OVERSIZED Green Glass Vase W/ applied molded Lionhead Item number: 7352821723

However, your later picture is way too big and will cause awful problems for some board users. Can you either shrink the image to a more reasonable size please or add the image to a photo hosting site and post the link to it? Many thanks :)

BTW Your vase reminds me of the Californian company's wine carafes that were so popular in the 70's and 80's.

These come in 1/4 1/2 3/4 1/1 and 1,5 liters. The earlier ones are hand made (finished pontil) but the more recent ones come out of a bottle making machine.

I would love to be able to resize the image or even remove it but I am not sure how to ? If anyone can tell me how to delete or resize the image I would more than happy to do so.

The HUGE green thing is definitely not what you described as a wine decanter. I was able to fill it with 2.5 gallons of water so its much larger than a 1/4 1/2 3/4 1/1 and 1.5 liter decanter would be.

Thanks for your posts.

Post by: Anonymous on September 24, 2005, 05:35:04 PM: in that case it is an Empoli floor vase made to look like a standard wine decanter - unless it is a Paul Mason factotum, of course :lol:
