Ivo:
could be either but more probably Lafiore than Gordiola.

p.s. just to put your mind at ease: these things are NOT cheap.

noor:
Thanks guys.

Sadly my local library is short on reference books for glass or pottery, they are all last seen (date) items. So, I am very grateful for any comments I receive from the members here.


flying free, can you explain the difference between stone finish and ????????? ? I am sure I followed a link on your link above and saw a mention of the two finishes, but can not see it anymore.


Ivo, can I retire early from it's sales proceeds? :)

flying free:
As I recall, Ivo has been recently over to Gordiola Glass and been looking at the pontil mark finish on the bases of lots of the pieces there. I believe what was meant was that the finish on the base of your compote, in the middle where the punty was removed after blowing, looks as though it has been ground with a stone (probably Lafiore then) whereas those at Gordiola glass that Ivo saw, all had a snapped off pontil mark (I think I remember being said).  Ivo will correct me if I have interpreted that incorrectly.

p.s. your pics are great

noor:
flying free, thank you for explaining the difference between the two. :)

David Bailey need not worry. ;D
