(Themed) glass displays - show me yours, I'll show you mine... part 4
chopin-liszt:
I want the decanters to store vinegars and oils in, in the kitchen. I imagine they might be a tad on the expensive side, for that!
If your jug is proper Arabia, ;D I'm afraid the cow plates I remember were probably a "tribute" (knock-off) sold in petrol stations. :-[
glassobsessed:
Sofiati is a style I guess, very finely blown and therefore usually light in weight, generally 1930s Murano. Makers such as MVM Cappellin and Venini are worth looking into.
Try Soffiato as a search term too, my spelling not great!
chopin-liszt:
Do you know anything at all about the very unusual colour the potential Soffiato is, John?
Not purple and not brown, somehow both at the same time, but still neither.
(I had a rather unusual bucket in that colour, covered in cut dragonflies. The colour is a mystery to me. I assumed a bohemian origin.)
essi:
Sue, you put into words exactly what I have been thinking about the colour of my Sandvik glass (if it is)
In my book there is Simon Gate design from the 1923 catalogue that is so similar I want to believe it is.
To me Sandvik glass is very underated.
John, for a vase which is 235mm tall it only weighs 360 grams.
Have not had time to look at the Italian options.
glassobsessed:
They both can share the same characteristics by the look of it, thinly blown soda glass, maybe muted colours. If we carry on perhaps the vase needs it's own topic?
