Andy are yours red? Mine is a deep cerise pink.

Andy CAM glass appears to be an outlet or store rather than a furnace and if you think the vases are older than the 2001 vase I linked to, then the 2007 vase doesn't seem to fit with that?
I'll keep looking and see if I can find anything else out. I am tempted to send an email to Luigi Onesto though.

Good idea. The one with blue wings is red, the other is somewhere inbetween that one and yours.

Actually I should correct that....it does appear from that ebay link that the person bought her vases from CAM and she says there was a gallery and a furnace there.
however, if they (the ones on ebay) are the same as the signed one in the fossilfly link (albeit not exactly the same as yours and mine)...and I can't say they look exactly the same as it is difficult to tell and they seem only to be blue and clear not dual/triple colours.... then the signed one is by Luigi Onesto so it may be that his work was being sold in the gallery CAM? or is that not a good supposition?
(and am I right that he is Onesto of Oball Glass?)

m,
just googled and found the website of Onesto.
http://www.oball.com/home.htm
The colours are very bright and the sommerso more precise than mine, i dont think they are by him.
The colours and sommerso of mine remind me more of the faceted Mandruzatto stuff.
I still think we are on the right Island!

not sure if this is one already discussed on the links but it is attributed to Vetreria Artistica Oball - unfortunately not a lot of information on how it is attributed i.e. no mention of signature or label - Oball I believe was set up by Onesto.

This one looks similar - and has a label.
Any thoughts? Many thanks :sun:

just to add info in case it disappears in future, the label seems to say TIco or TLco to me in curly script with an old fashioned T that looks like a J... hmmm, it could be JIco, but I think it's more a T than a J. The label is oval ish shape sideways and also says ARTE DI MURANO across the bottom, is a worn foil label that looks to be blue foil with gold writing maybe, too worn to know. The seller attributed it to probably Barbini.
Could it be a Jordan Importing co label?

I think i may have cracked it

I saw this vase at Newbury antiques market today, with a label, i asked permission to take photos, not an overly friendly permission given, she said if i was that interested, i could always just buy it! She had £190 on it , and its nowhere as nice as mine or m's pieces ! So photos are not good, the vase , i could tell, was from the same hand, and the label read ' Arte Nuova Murano' couldnt read any more, but on googling, found lots of information to confirm the attribution, best one with the same READABLE Label is this one,
https://secure.modernistglass.com/glasspieces/view/2922/labelled-arte-nuova-murano-1958-lamp

Rest of label, Grand prize winner at 1958 Brussels World Fair !
a piece on fossilfly, same company, different label, Itamo Pustetto and Lizio Zanetti
