Italian vase ?

<< < (2/3) > >>

chopin-liszt:
:? Looking at it enlarged, it becomes clear that the handles are quite unbalanced, I don't think the workmanship is good enough for Bimini. Also, is there a repair on one handle?

lambden:
Hi
Just to add that the vase is small about 115mm in height, it is not that really thin glass I guess for its size it is quite thick 1.5 - 2mm, it has no damage to it at all it must be a trick if the light.
Thanks
Nicky

chopin-liszt:
:D Good that there's no damage - it was on the close-up, enlarged, but I can see how it came about that I wondered.
Are the handles of differing thicknesses, or is that also an artifact (I love that word, but it's better pronounced "fartiact" - just soo-ooo descriptive!) of the picture?

David E:
I'd agree with Sue.

I have a similar piece to Nicky's (pink cannes and aventurine spiral) and the comparisons to this vase are quite striking. I have had early Bimini pieces pass through my hands as well and they are soooo light and fragile  :shock:

I purchased this as 'Murano' but would leave this to a true expert to identify! :wink:

Will post a picture in about half-an-hour - gotta dash!

David E:
And here's the Bimini vase I had, which was just 5" (12.5cm) tall:
