Topic: Is this Ebay attribution correct?

[ahremck]

I have always suspected these might be Murano BUT

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/HADELAND-NORWAY-TEARDROP-PLUM-STRIPED-GLASS-VASE-EX-CON-/380289457446?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item588b049d26

obviously thinks otherwise.  Can anyone tell if he is correct in attributing it to Hadeland?

Ah -that attribution is from Fire and Sea or Smoke and Ice. From memory, the picture is captioned 'attributed to Hadeland, Norway', which suggests it's an assumption by the author at this stage. I queried it a couple of years ago (because I have the same piece), and no-one at that stage knew either way.

I'll have a hunt through the books for you to confirm that.

Edited to add: Found it. p. 119 Fire and Sea, (Pina and Vigier). The caption is: Hadeland (attributed) teardrop vase with thin diagonal plum stripes.

Because of the 'attributed', it's possibly wrong.

It is just I am sure I had one of these - maybe still do, and I regularly see them in op-shops, so I feel they can't be rare.  Marked Hadeland is rare in my experience here in Melbourne.

Fire & Sea is known to have a few mistakes, and this may well be one.

If anyone has any ideas where this vase originated, we'd love to know! Perhaps a labeled piece will turn up one day.
