Murano Sommerso Vase?
« on: October 15, 2009, 04:16:24 PM »
Hi

I have seen vases like these here and there, but was just wondering if this is the genuine article?  I guess I can't really see why anyone would copy.

Murano house name would be greatly appreciated, if anyone knows it.

TIA
Stu.

Thank you kindly, Ma'am.  Sadly I lack the necessary light.

My wife frowns at me when I mention a UV light because she also cannot believe I haven't bought one yet.  Sore subject.   :24:

Yes, I think the Flavio comment might have people on your case at any moment.

I also think it looks like Seguso Vetri d'Arte. Poli designed a lot of their pieces. Poli has gotten to be one of those questionable names because of its abuse on eBay. I hope someone can tell you if yours is definitely a Seguso piece.

ummmhhh you must get one.. i have 3, 2 little torches on keyrings and one big strip light one which i use when lighting something for picture to sell it.. they really are worth while even for the entertainment value... line up 10 pieces and play guess the uranium turn off the lights and turn on the UV see who guessed right (i dont really play this game... well not often anyway ;D)
also if your really bored you can write on the wall with a UV pen (my sons spy pen) then shine your light on it.. which is amusing the first time, (thats what jon said anyway ;D)
I also like to watch people's face when your trying desperatly to see of there is a reaction and they have no idea what your doing ;D, i'm quite use to people thinking im mad now so it doesnt bother me too much :chky:

Because it's a classic and beautiful shape.

I suppose so.   :)  I am really not keen, sadly.   :)  Emma really loves it, however.
