Pink glass over opaque white in Murano style with lots of gold flecks and bullicante - 9" diam, 3" high - partial label 'Genuine Venitian Glass - Handmade in Murano Italy' So I know its Murano and I think thats an export label, anyone able to ID it?
Thanks Adam

I suspect the label is generic and similar to this: http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/displayimage.php?album=102&pos=74 there are several in the labels file but nothing exactly the same as yours.
Unless someone has another idea I suspect made in Murano is the best you are going to get.

Thanks - after looking I see I have a small sommerso bowl with same label so an import label seems likely.

Ardy, the link you give is the dynamic one and changes with the viewer's sort settings for the album. You need to use the link below to make sure we're seeing the image you intend us to see (I didn't!) - can you confirm the link below takes you to the image you intended us to see, please? Ta!

Hi Anne - no that is not the one but it is similar the one I tried to link to is: FILE 75/149

The numbers change depending on the view settings*, ardy, so the only one which is the fixed link and which will always find the right image is the one in the File Info section below the image. It will end with "pos=-" followed by a number, like this:
http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/displayimage.php?pos=-3019
(View settings depend on whether the images are sorted alphabetically by name, by title, by date, etc and whether upwards or downwards, hence the confusion. If the image is moved to another album it gets even more confusing, but the absolute link ending with - and the number will find it wherever it is in the Gallery. :))

Hi
Quite a rare cased Bullicante bowl. It is quite unusual to find Bullicante in the cased format and not a technique that only a handful of furnaces in Venice still use today.

The label is a 'Generic' one. I have seen a few of these bowls over the years. Lovely pieces though and well made. Not likely to find a maker unfortunately.
This label comes in quite a few colours. Red, Green, Blue & Silver, all scalloped edged and dating from the mid/late 50's to late 60's by the style of the pieces of have seen them on.
-
And here am I thinking that this is a fairly standard Barbini bowl.
-
Do you have a piece with a Barbini label ivo?
-
No sorry. But nail mould, white and foil seem to be a strong pointer combination.
-
But it could also be another furnace that copied the Barbini pieces that were made like this. I only say this because of the label. But then again, with pieces that have this label, it is guess work anyway.
