Topic: ID Request on large blown Italian? vase with lip roll

[post modern nut]

We are new to this Board and are hoping this works.  We purchased this vase 10 years ago on eBay for $45.  We have never been able to identify it, nor have we had anyone who could.  It is 11 1/2 inches tall, 10 1/2 inches in diameter.  It is a very well done lip roll to the foot base.  It is quite thin for its size.  Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

This should give a larger image.  I had problems posting the images from our camera, they were way to large. 
Thank You

Nicely made, it has an Italian feel to it, i can see something like writing on the pic of the base,
or is that just the picture or a mark youve added??

I think it says 1120. Very pretty vase. Like the colour.

Yes there is a number on the base, it is our 'catalog' number, we try to log everything in the collections in to a data base, i.e. where purchased, cost, who made it (if known) and any other info we can put together about it.  Then, like with this piece, if we find out who did it/when/just anything further about it, we will log that in to the data base.  My memory is not what it used to be, and after awhile with several thousand pieces in all of the collections, you just can't remember who did what when or even what it cost you.  So far, if I keep up entering, it works very well.  The marks are usually in places that are discreet, and can be removed, in most cases at a later time.  There was about 5 years that a lot of ceramic pieces came in to the collections and I was just to lazy or tired to enter them, now I am going back and trying to identify what we bought.

Several thousand!!! where do you live,Buck' Palace?I thought I was a compulsive collector,feel a bit of a wimp now!Keith.

It is not all glass, about 2,000 glass, 2,000 ceramics then add a bunch in what we call household(ice buckets/clocks etc), and then there is the art collection both in 2 and 3 dimensions, i.e. flatwork (print,painting, etc,) 3d is sculpture.  We are a bit compulsive.

Looks American factory produced. 70s to 90s.

I had sent an image of this vase to a Italian glass dealer in Germany, who sent this today. I am not putting his name in the body, since I do not have his permission to use it.
"I guess that it’s an “incamiciato”-piece designed by Vittorio Zecchin and executed by VSM Venini & Co. approx. 1930.
As reference please have a look on page 227 and 231 in the book Venetian art glass by Marina Barovier. We do have the identical vase displayed on page 227"
I am not familiar with the term incamiciato, but will begin my search.
