Title: Vase with purple rim and turquoise decor - Murano?
Post by: dirk. on October 07, 2012, 07:11:36 AM

Hi,

anyone ideas about this one? The top rim is gradually purple shaded and there is a tadpole-like
turquoise decor at the base. I seem to remember I´ve seen this decor as a bowl also, but have
no idea about an ID. The base is polished flat.
The vase is ca. 22.5cm / 9 inches tall.

TIA
Dirk

Very nice effect.

Sort of contemporary looking colours.

Thank you, John. I was thinking funky 70´s because of the lava-lamp-like effect of
the turquoise drops...  ;D

Doesn't help much, because many of their attributions are questionable or simply wrong, but >> here (http://von-zezschwitz.de/detail.php?onlinecatalog=1&chapter=3&objectid=11050&ref=%252Fonlinecatalog.php%253Fid%253D30%2526chapter%253D3%2526view%253Dgallery%2526language%253Ddeutsch&id=30&language=deutsch) is a similar vase on the von Zezschwitz auction site...

Thank you, Michael. At least we know another shape of this design now...  :)
