Topic: White Lattice Flask with Silver Top

[jimbo1]

Hi,

Please can someone help or point me in the right direction on this one, I purchased the flask thinking it was murano probably because I also purchased another Campanella style  murrano bottle with it.

Once I got home and examined it, I thought it had some age with it, its not light and thinly blown like other murano bottles I have owned and has that waxy feel to it that older hand blown glass has. The stopper is cork with a silver/plated finial. The base is polished flat with a small indented unfinished pontil.

I'm guessing at Nailsee but I have never handled a piece and looking at pictures on Google I can only see examples with the feather enamel effect rather than straight/twisted.

Height to top of finial is 4" and is 2.5" across the front.

As allways any help is much appreciated.

Does the stopper belong and is that a brass screw holding it together?

The stopper fits snug and was quite tight when I got it, I've no reason to doubt it not original but then again I can't say its always been with the glass. It looks to be made of silver and is very tarnished.

The cork is held in place with a brass slot type screw.
