Red Sommerso with Handle...ID Help...
« on: January 23, 2010, 06:38:24 AM »
Hi, I purchased this of ebay about 6yrs ago. Red sommero, 13.5cm at its highest point. Has a lovely handle and beaker neck (hope that is right terminology). Is a heavy little piece for its size. I am assuming it is murano, the quality is exceptional. Has little to no wear to base. Any help with ID would be appreciated.  ;D

Though I would bump this since i was about. Still hopefully some leads in to possible makers for this piece?!

I'm not convinced it's Italian. The lip and handle look kind of weedy compared with the body. I would expect better balance; more like this

Thanks lustrousstone, I am unsure of it as well. Maybe the mods could move this to Glass? Although I doubt I will ever find a maker for it, a country of origin would be good though.

I quite like it because it is such a tiny sommerso, it looks quite funny standing next to the bigger pieces. LOL
