Topic: Please help ID this lovely red and orange bubble vase

I wondered about Gozo too, aren't their bases usually polished though? The colours seem a bit primary for Gozo as well, these are just vague musings on my part!

Gozo - I've seen a couple that have rough ground bases and seem to have escaped the polishing stage, so weren't signed.  As for the colourways check out this link to their 2002 catalogue.

Mmm, think I should keep my musings to myself.

I do see some similarities with Gozo glass although I really haven't found anything with the same colors.  But maybe... 

Aha, my vase has got a 'fault' which may account for its unpolished/unfinished base -- At the very top of the vase, there is a 1,5cm spot which is not covered with red -- it's just white covered with clear.  So maybe the vase is a 'reject'.

But even rejects can be lovely

I've seen very similar things with identical bottom finish earlier this week at LaFiore, Mallorca. Not saying that it is, mind you, just observing that all bottom finishes at LaFiore are of this type.

That kind of thing is often acceptable in studio glass, especially one of such complexity. It's a lovely piece

I think I've found a clue...  I'm a hero
