Bought this a little while ago and I can't find a similar example in my searches. I have seen 2 other vases like this piece, both were said to be Archimede Seguso. Just over 21cm tall and 9.5cm in dia. The glass is 2cm thick. Quite a heavy piece of glass. I thought I had seen this in one of my books but was wrong. It still has the glue residue from the label on the bottom but I can't quite make out if it is the scalloped edged. Lots of wear to the base. Archimede Seguso or not?

Couple of more pics...you can also feel the spirals on the inside of the vase as well.

Hi mods...could we move this to Murano???...as most don't seem to view here...then it can go into oblivion.... ;D
-
Moved, and giving it a bump! :)

Your vase certainly has the AS look. I'll take a look around also for you to see if I can find anything similar to it.

Thanks cathy and tam bam... ;D
I have run out of search terms on this as I just keep getting hits on the A.S opalescent spiral pieces...and it definitely has the A.S look to it and i think the dimensions are right.

Click, as a Pure Guess ? (http://cgi.ebay.com/SIGNED-VENINI-MURANO-CASED-GLASS-12-FINGER-BOWL-VASE-/350433159437?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item519771a90d)
I do not know... :thud: :wsh:

Hi kane I am sure it is AS but I have seen similar attributed to SvdA (maybe Poli). I have a perfume bottle in the same candy twist/sommerso format with the AS label and a bottle in Alabastro. You can safely attribute it to AS and if you look on the US ebay/ italian/ seguso there is two for sale there at the moment, one with a false signature (I think) http://cgi.ebay.com/Archidmede-Seguso-Spiral-Art-Glass-Vase-Murano-signed-/310290408503?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item483ebfe437
Your label could have been the oval AS one.
Great find, great vase.
I hate you.

Thanks ardy for the confirmation, I was confident it would be an AS piece but needed confirmation.
Since you already hate me, I paid $27 for it and was the only bidder out of 183 views. :ooh:

LOL rose... :sun:
The spirals on that piece you listed ardy look thicker and there is definitely less of them compared to mine. Could this piece be a bit later than mine???...I thinky the sig may be good. It doesn't look like a bad dremmel....???!!!
Only thing that concerns me about my piece is the sommerso effect and the thick 'wad' of clear glass at the end. I can only assume he wanted different effects for these pieces... :huh:

Hi Kane
There is a bit of confusion in my mind about this style of AS. I have seen a few that I have been concerned are Chinese, they are irregular in the spirals and not finished well at the top. Not sure if this style has been copied but there are a fair few of them about (if you are looking). With the age and old label on the bottom of yours I am sure yours is genuine.
Regarding the signature on the bottom. This was a tourist piece for AS and used in various other designs, lamps, bottles etc., he would not have signed them as he signed only significant pieces.
This is my perfume bottle.
Thanks for the $27 note - I just hated you before, now you have become the Arch Enemy (lucky I don't hold a grudge).

Exellent. The sprials on you perfume bottle look like my vase...;D That is a beautiful perfume bottle by the way ardy.
I am thoroughly pleased this is an A.S piece, since I don't have a lot of his work, but the collection is slowly getting bigger! Thanks everyone for the help and the laughs... ;D
