Topic: 1950'/60's murano lamp base?

[bfg]

good afternoon,

I hope someone can point me in the right direction here please. I was rather hoping this was a vintage murano lamp base, it certainly looks similar to the bullicante ones on the web but this is plain cased ruby glass - not a bubble to be seen! 5" wide x 5 and a 1/2" to top of brass fitting

If its not, I won't bother trying to clean it up (its filthy) - does the old stock label to the base help at all?

Cheers!
Mel

Can you get a closer pic of the label? You can use the macro settings on you camera, which is the flower icon.

It certainly looks old (ish) and nice quality. I would clean it whatever

thanks for the replies, I have added a close up of the label.

It is very faint but I think it reads 50/132

cheers

Hi, this looks very similar to a couple I came across yesterday - Archimede Seguso

ah yes, thank you NMott I had found a plethora of these on the web but they all have controlled bubbles  - mine doesn't so as much as I'd like to say Seguso......i need to back it up

don't suppose you've come across any plain ones on your web travels?

cheers.

Hi Mel,
here is thread showing a labeled Archimede Seguso lamp base without bubbles (but made of opaque glass).

I have had similar in clear glass with the Seguso label, however, mine where open at the base.
