 Can we see a good shot of the underside please? I'm inclined to think Polish or Chinese, not Murano...

I have to admit that while Ivo was posting I was wondering about Poland. I also see no resemblance with the striped jug except the pink colour

Well... I agree that some things can be difficult. But... as I'm sure we can also agree that you don't jump to conclusions and label people's merchandise as being a cheap chinese or polish thing without any evidence at all. All the reputable dealers I know abide by this.

Bad move Ivo I had some hope for you after reading some of your posts.

Another person cannot see the same pink canes but can see orchids... heh...

Show me a china or polish piece with ash inclusions... second thought...

don't bother you have "helped" enough already... heh...

What are you on?

As a "reputable" dealer you would of course never fall into the trap of wishful attributions. Just because you want it to be Murano does not make it so, and additional information is required. And let me remind you it is you who introduced the word "cheap" in the discussion.

As Lustrousstone correctly remarked, there is no relation between the clear cased thickwalled ball vase and the Latticino piece other than a partial colour resemblance. You are further wrong in describing the pink ribbon as a "cane" and the clear casing as "cristallo".

I dont understand why the defensiveness Springhead.
We are here to help and talk about the glass. I also agree it does not look Murano to me.
Everyone here disagrees from time to time on what a piece is or where it came from.
There is no need to call out people the way you just did for their opinions.
Lets just get level headed, everyone.
cool? k!

I would also add that Polish glass can be often of good quality and it's certainly not always cheap. The thing it probably sometimes lacks is originality.

Springhead, I would also respectfully point you in the direction of the Board Policy post here:
http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,6521.0.html where it states:
Quote
Guidance for posting messages on The Glass Message Board
Please post all identification questions in the GLASS or GLASS PAPERWEIGHTS forums - the other forums are intended for more general discussions.
- in other words, for identifying any glass item other than a PAPERWEIGHT the proper place to post is in GLASS. The specialist subject forums are intended for discussion of known source items, so if something has already been ID'd as Murano or Scandi, then post about it in the Murano or Scandi forum.

Also, in the Board Policy post you will note:
Quote
For your guidance, the following are not permitted on the Glass Message Board

    * Messages containing elements that are obscene, vulgar, blasphemous, racist or sexist
    * Messages that are defamatory or libelous. As this is not always immediately clear, the Moderator(s) may err on the side of caution.

Possible reasons for removal of messages by the Moderator(s) would include: those which are offensive to other people, for reasons other than the content of the argument being made (if any); messages which pertain to personal disputes; messages which are threatening, intimidatory, insulting, obscene, abusive, or obnoxious; attempts to deliberately deceive other members. As this is not always immediately clear, the Moderator(s) may err on the side of caution.

Your comments above border on what some here would consider to be patronising, and to Ivo, who is a known and respected world authority on Glass, to be somewhat insulting. Please do bear in mind that this is a serious glass discussion board and that many of those who contribute have been doing so for many years and have considerable knowledge of glass at all levels, not just as dealers. We treat each other with courtesy and welcome others who do the same.



Cheers! Anne, da tekniqual wizzerd

Moderator:  Please leave this post in.  It will serve to remind us what an arrogant person this Springhead is. He says above "not to jump to conclusions"  but he has jumped to the conclusion this is Murano and is closing his ears to any other expert advice, and has insulted some of the most knowledgeable glass people around in the process. Bah Humbug!!!!
Oh, and I won't be going down Ruby Lane either!!
