Title: Murano Apple?
Post by: Tigerchips on February 21, 2010, 11:58:51 AM
Looks like Murano to me, sharp pontil, textured stem and leaf with gold inclusions.

Any ideas?

Tigerchips, I think you're right that it is Murano. I've seen many perfume bottles and other things with this type of filigrana. It might be tough to track down without a label. I have the feeling that most of these types pieces were made in the last 20-30 years, but could be wrong. I've seen labels on some of the bottles, but don't remember who they were. A photographic memory would be wonderful, so I could remember all these things I see online.

Dunno why .... cos its late Sunday night and I still have 15 things to pack from madly E-Baying .... but it brings to mind my so far unidentified swirly bottles.  Maybe its the swirly bits and the rough cut pontil.

Forgive me ... its late ....

Found a bunch of fruit on Pinterest described as
La Fenice Vetreria Artistica Murano... https://www.pinterest.com/pin/485966616035852329

I checked out their catalogue but couldn't see any similar.  >:(

I think this bottle is by them too as i've seen some with labels.

Label usually reads "Vetreria La Fenice Murano Made In Italy"
