Topic: Red bottle/vase

Hi Ben,

It looks very very similar, fairly identical, to one which I have seen before which had an original sticker for Italy Murano G A S.

It was the same colour too, and around 20cm tall.

Hopefully this info will help you with your search.

Best wishes, Michelle.

The orange-pink colour under UV is probably the presence of selenium.

Hi,

Perhaps there's a possibility that the red bottle vase is Polish late 1960s/1970s/ early 1980s?  Red was a popular colour in Polish glassmaking at the time, as was the use of prunts.  Also (though I really don't know if it has any significance), Polish glass of that period tends to have a crazy orange glow under black light.   (Two very poor photos as examples attached).

Hi,

I managed to find these pictures of the decanter I remembered seeing.

It looks pretty much identical to yours, only that the prunt mark is clearer (probably a hotter mould) and strangely seems somewhat inverted compared with yours.

I have also attached a clear picture of the label to hopefully solve the ID request.

Very best wishes, Michelle.

Ah, in that case, perhaps not Polish.
