Topic: Huge clear to smoke glass vase, 50ies shape

[rocco]

I would like to give this old ID query another gentle bump, as I have this beautiful vase on display at the moment.
It does stand up to my Poli vase, so the quality is there.

But still no attribution, not even to a region , so any new ideas highly apprecitated.

Comparing the base of this one to my Seguso Vd'A piece, they are quite differently finished...

I saw the same vase in Switzerland 2 years ago in the window of an antique shop, the colour was slightly different though, more like the bluish-green from the  Johansfors Orup "Tona" range. But no similar shape anywhere, and the pieces from that range seem much more delicate.

Thanks,
Michael

The info I have for Pip's "Seguso" vase is that it was actually made by Arte Nuova, Murano - extant from 1954 to mid-1960s - and was designed by Aldo Fuga.

Don't know how applicable that information is for your vase, though.

Seem to recall a thread about the company on here somewhere, but can't find it.

Thank you Nic!
If my vase is Murano, Arte Nuova seems quite possible...
There is not too much found on the web regarding their output; most pieces seem more colourful than my vase, though...
