Hi Muarno1966, welcome to the Board.

For references to eBay items please always use just the eBay number or a full url link, rather than including photos or screenshots from the seller's page (or web shop), as this helps to avoid image copyright problems. In this case I have removed your screenshot image.

Also, I have separated your post from the message in the China & Taiwan forum and moved it here as a new ID request message. Please do not add posts to earlier threads when there is no connection to the earlier thread details, even if the title does seem to be what you had in mind.

I couldn't find an item with the number you give. If you're referring to the vases offered by the seller of this piece, http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-UNIQUE-1-1-MURANO-GLASS-VASE-BATTUTO-XXL-GLASMASTER-LUCA-VIDAL-SIGNED-/191262054938?pt=UK_Art_Glass&hash=item2c881b5a1a

I'd say that this is a fairly typical, high-end modern Murano piece, very much based on the work of Lino Tagliapietro. Worth?  Up to you. A vase like this takes a great deal of work, vision, and technique.

Unfortunately this is the vase asked about: http://www.ebay.de/itm/171417069924

I guess it would be against board policy to write what I think about this seller's descriptions
In my humble opinion these vases (the seller offers several of them) were made quite a bit east of Murano...

Michael,

Thanks for the link, which worked. I agree with you 100%.

The ultimate in fiction is what I would classify the description as.....   :-)

I don't know, he does use the word "FANTASTISCHE" quite a lot.
Seems quite appropriate to me.

I agree....  LOL
