Hi, i got this for christmas. Im thinking its Ingrid glass, West Germany? Also would anyone know the designer? It measures 6inches high x 5.5inches wide, and has a random bubble pattern. Any ideas would be much appreciated, many thanks.
-
Not sure if anyone saw this, but still struggling with this I.D. :)
-
Not sure what it is but I'd sooner vote generic Murano than Ingridglas...
-
Hi Ivo, thanks for your reply. That's totally thrown me, i know what Murano is, but what is generic Murano? Sorry if im being thick! :)
-
I had one of these in amber a long time ago and was told by a member of the whitefriars site it was Alfredo Barbini, ive added a link to my one

Generic means typical of Murano workmanship but not attributable to any one Murano maker (unless we find a labelled/signed version).

ere, ive just noticed something the person who told me is Johnphilip.. is that our JP ??. To memory we did quite well on it too, but that was 2 years ago

Yup, the one and only, Michelle! ;D

Funny how small this glassy world of ours is really ;D cheers JP :kissy: by solving my case 2 years ao ive been able to do the same for someone else (and wow is my memory better that=n i gave it credit for :D)

The plot thickens. Are both of you saying that this is definately an Alfredo Barbini piece? How much did you sell your gold one for? Have typed in his name and struggling to find the same vase as mine??? :)
-
I dont remember exactly what it went for now being 2 years ago (to many days and to many pieces of glass sold in between im afraid).
Johnphilip is a pretty good source for glass (one of the big brains ;D) I will drop him an email and draw his attention to this thread and he can give you more details.

Thanks Michelle, that would be great, my interest in this vase has been propelled. :)
-
Hi all. Im still drawing a blank with this one. Alfredo Barbini is still in my mind but would love a definate for this vase??? Thanks all.
-
ive put a message on the board to get JP's attention hopefully he will drop by soon and confirm

JP has replied on the other thread, and said yes he is sure it is Barbini, he has a gorgeous pink one on ebay right now.

Tweaked the topic a little, and moving this to Murano for greater exposure. :)
-
Sorry for bumping this but really need a positive I.D as i want to sell this, but with all my glass i must have a positive attribution??? Many thanks everyone.
-
Hi everyone. Does anyone recognise this as an Alfredo Barbini piece, many thanks. :)
-
I'm with Ivo in saying generic Murano (although I prefer the term non attributable Murano). It's not that it's an inferior piece; it's more that it would be impossible from this photo to say Barbini and even difficult if you were holding it. A few companies made pieces like this. As I said, it's not to denigrate the piece, which I quite like personally. It's just I'd hate to be quoted as saying it's Barbini by someone selling it, which I think is probably a common reaction.

Thanks for the response. Your absolutely right by saying that, it is difficult to positively identifying this piece. Its hard to sell without a positive i.d. Does anyone else have any ideas??? :)
