Topic: Corroso vase

[på femte våningen]

Is there someone here who could help me to identify this corroso vase, probably dating from around 1930s? Unfortuneately I don't have it by my side at this moment but it measures somewhere around 30 cm.

Many thanks in advance,

Rickard

Someone will be along very shortly I'm sure, who will be able to give you much more information than I can, so do keep a watch out for replies

Thank you Flying Free for the welcoming and the encouraging words about the vase. I totally agree; it's a beauty.

Kindest regards

I would scrap the 1930's opinion due to the colour combo and underlying sommerso look. Looks 1950's as my guess, probably around the mid 50's. Extremely well made. Do you have a rim shot? I have a couple of makers in mind but will hold my opinion on it (only because I screw up more than actually getting it right).

I wouldn't hesitate in buying it if it come on to the market.  :mrgreen:

-Oh...and welcome...you posted something I rarely get to comment on...so I got lost in the glass... :hiclp:

Thank you very much Kane_u_pain,

You're probably right about the midcentury. It's just that I'd my mind locked on Scarpa corroso items. I'll get back with a picture of the rim (and exact height) tomorrow night (It's in my ware and I won't be able to get there before tomorrow).

Kindest regards

Here's a shot at the rim. And it seems I've overestimated the height - it's 25 cm...

Very beautiful piece and definitely not Scarpa, both for the colours, as Kane suggests, and the shape. When I first saw the piece, I wasn't totally convinced that it was Murano. The treatment of the rim, which isn't corrosoed, or whatever the verb might be, adds to those doubts.

I've seen a few corroso pieces recently (including a couple I have) that lead me to think they're being made somewhere other than Murano. They're all very effectively done and worth collecting, just not Murano.  Anyone else share my doubts or should I start revising my opinion?

The rim is definitely very well finished as is the rest of the piece. I have a seen a handful of corroso pieces over the years with Murano labels from various makers. They are hard to come by so hence my hesitation in putting a maker to it.

Another question, how much does it weigh?

It is always good to keep a open mind langhaugh...hence my hesitation is naming a few makers as more opinions would be appreciated.

I apologize for the gap. It's c 2.6 kg.

Great photographs, btw. They show off the piece very well.
