Hi everybody,
Since I didn't find a presentation section, here's a brief intro: French collector (mainly Art Nouveau but buying in other fields as well when I like something) living in Argentina.
I hope I'm posting in the right section, I'm not trying to ID the vase in itself, just digging for some info about this obscure glass company.
I recently bought a large vase which bears a marking reading "VAMPA MURANO".
I of course did my "homework" and tried to find more info, but found none.
Since I work as a translator & with words, I tried to analyse the acronym VAMPA:
VAM would likely stand for Vetreria artistica muranese (like Barbini's VAMSA), which seems quite sure.
PA in legal Italian usually stands for Associazione in Partecipazione, not really confirmed here but well, that's the only lead I have.
I wonder if anyone would have a better guess. The vase shows sign of wear, likely 40/50 years old (?). Glass is thick.
Thanks a lot for your thoughts,
Antoine
