Murble, murble... Venetian techniques, for sure...  ::)
But not a "venetian feeling"...
S
I can't be 100% sure, but several details say me that this was made in "venetian style", but not by a local master glassmaker
- Colors of handles and decors (obtained using colored glass powders) not in line with venetian taste
- 3 sides (not perfect) simmetry
- not precise details and decors
- Position of decors and handles
- the "waves" on the decors look too flat
- Thickness
- Border of cup and base

Thanks for the thoughts everyone.

I've now found that Steuben also used similar rigaree and loop handles like these. Perhaps we should move this thread to the glass section of the forum and see what the others have to add?
