Topic: Name of glass studio

[uphoosier]

Contemporary Murano made vase.  I can't make out the studio name.  I even checked Ivo's list and still came up empty.  Does anyone recognize the name?  Thanks for looking.

Hi:

I see (kind of) Glass Studio Murano. I googled it and got http://feng777.en.ec21.com/Handmade_Murano_Design_Glass_Decorative--1982542_3331411.html which look Chihuly style pieces. I didn't see any pieces like yours on there, but...  Is Glass Studio a possible reading? It's a site worth having a look at if you want to get an idea of what's out there being sold as Murano.

I wonder if you could somehow switch the picture to black and white and play around with the intensity, etc. to bring the signature up. I will try this and see what happens.

Sorry, I have no idea how to get the picture to be here in the message, but there's the link.

Thank you both for the comments.  I'll post some photos per your suggestions in the morning.

If I ignored the signature, I'd look at the possibility of it being Campanella. The gold finish, the general colour, and the shape suggest Campanella to me. But I can't see any recognizably Campanella murrines. BTW, why do you think contemporary? (I'm not disagreeing.)

The person I bought it from purchased it from a department store a few years back.

Your vase reminds me of some of the vases made by Amedeo Rossetto. I ran across some of the things he made for Laguna Glass today. http://www.lagunamurano.it/index.php/cPath/2?osCsid=m3i4iv34hej84bhaq5g0iivq30 is a link.

It looks as a generic signature: "glass studio Murano". Often the clients ask for a signature, also in pieces that the producer doesn't sign. So the seller signs himself the piece with a "fantasy" signature. This was pretty common... expecially in the turistic factory (where they produce nothing, but where they declare themself as a factory-studio   )

Anyway from the details I can say at least 6 names producing very similar items, but I could add other 10 due to it was a very popular technique and style.

Campanella
Donà
Fornasotta
DiPi
Gambaro
Pagnin

Thanks for the comments everyone; and the explanation, Alex.  It looked Glass Studio Murano to me, but that didn't make sense.  Now it does.
