Topic: Murano or not?

[colink]

Bought this the other day from a saturday fair and the seller said that it was a Murano Somerso mold stretch vase c1970s im only asking as i like it a lot and would like to know as much about it as possible it stands 18" tall with the diameter at 5" its quite a heavy piece, and is a reddy purple colour with the tips at the top having clear glass around the edges.

I've said it before here, don't believe dealers they are unreliable.

I think we've had similar on here before and there was no definite conclusion, so that probably rules Murano out

I wouldn't rule out Murano completely, at least not until I saw clearer pictures, including one of the base. It's one of those pieces that I find very difficult to attribute as there are a number of contenders. I suspect that a number of people have looked at this piece and wondered without commenting as they have nothing specific to offer.

I should add that I don't mean to imply that because I can't identify it, it's not a very nice piece of glass.
