Filigrana/Aventurine Vase ID
« on: December 27, 2017, 03:59:38 PM »
Hi all,

I found this vase a few weeks ago in a charity shop and I've been trying to work out who could have possibly made it without any luck. I'm guessing it's from a Murano maker but not sure who apart from Aureliano Toso/Dino Martens but I don't think this is by them.

The vase is very light and the canes can be felt when you run your fingers over the body.

15 cm / 6 inches high & 9.5 cm / 3.75 inches diameter (at its widest point)

Any input welcome!

Adam

Looks very good quality  Venetian glass to me and a great find in a charity shop.
