Italian glass car boot finds, or are they?
Tigerchips:
I have four pieces that I think are Italian but not certain. :?
I think this one is made by Alrose, Murano. There seems to be very little known about this firm. I often see the decanters with spiral stoppers.
I haven't got a clue about this one but I think it's Italian. It has what looks like three layers of glass red, white and orange. Edited: Possibly 4 layers as it looks as though it has a clear casing on the outside.
You can see the white and orange layers in this picture.
This next one, I am certian it is ultra modern. I've seen "Cello" stickers on some of them. On ebay, I see these attributed to Murano but I'm suspicious about that. Some are priced at £25 but I can buy new one's for the same price or less.
I'm not sure whether this urn is Bohemian or Italian. It is all hand blown cut glass and the base is cut flat.
.
Any information on any of these would be much appreciated. :)

I can't really help but the red one reminds me of a woman with her hands on her hips!
I have a red glass vase that has some similarities, not the shape but the glass and with clear 'handles' I found a picture of the same on the web and this was the description--
This beautiful vase is clear glass cased over a vibrant red with a white milk glass interior & clear glass decorative "handles" on each side.
At one time it had a foil label with "Snowflakes" attached. It is beautifully finished. It is one of the items featured on page 145 in "Fifties Glass" by Leslie Pina. This item dates c. 1950.
You have a good touch with car boots sales!

Perhaps I had more than glass on my mind! :oops: :oops: :oops:
Car boot sales are proving very difficult for me at the moment because there are so many dealers already on the stalls. I would say for every 4 genuine car booters there is one dealer present.
Even Charity Shops are proving to be a problem. Oddly, I have learned that certian dealers are timing me so that they can get there before me. :shock: :shock:
I don't mind though, buying and selling is just a hobby at the moment. :)

That red vase reminds me of a vase I've got displayed on my window.

I completely forgot about it and I've had it for years. :)
Ivo:
your blue bowl on stilts http://tinypic.com/awoxmt.jpg is not Italian, I think it is actually Ukrainian.
and the cut-to-clear amber piece http://tinypic.com/awp9ub.jpg - how could you ever mistake that for Italian, it is as Bohemian as it gets. :)
