Topic: Large clear glass vase, Murano? Czech? ID = Art Vannes

[heartofsklo]

The vase measures 20cm (8 inches), is very heavy and thickly set. The base has a polished pontil and the base edges have many light use scratches. Probably 50's?

It has the look of some large French pieces I've seen - mostly big fruit bowls in sweeping designs with optical features - I don't know anything more about them then that though.  :huh:

Thanks Sue,

It does have the style look of some pieces from the Art Vannes factory but this one is not etched with their dashed square and the "Art Vannes France" , their pieces always were from what I can gather. This said, their are some pieces that look exactly the same on the nets "Image" search that state they are indeed "Art Vannes". Confused

I have also seem a similarity with a couple of val St Lambert pieces but not enough to be "the same", also, this pice as I said is not marked. The Art Vannes pieces seem to be the closest resemblance so far.

First thing I thought of when I saw it was Vannes. I have had a couple and seen similar  Did all pieces have engraved marks?
