Topic: Need help Identifying this stunning compote please, and thank you.

[JasonHamilton]

This stunning compote came out of a large glass collection of old fine glass, dating back to 1847. Pieces consisted of Murano (heavy on Murano), Scandanavian (Sweden/Finland), and English (Corbett Webb Agate Flambe) Most pieces are cataloged already but this one is a mystery. Pictures don't do the colors justice. Has applied red canes and pink opaque glass with a clear glass base. Looks like a Morning Glory. I was referred by other collectors to post this here. Any information on this piece would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The effect (but not with the red stripes) reminds me of the effect of Monot Stumpf glass.

I know of Stumpf, Touvier and Violette, but not of Monot Stumpf. 
I have a tiny ST&V salt. this piece does remind me of those colourways, m, without the red stripe, but the piece posted looks much more thickly made. My guts have a feeling this might be newer, and emulating those older styles?
My guts may be completely off-target.

Maybe Italian given the canes?

You may be right Sue.  It was just a thought, that was what it reminded me of.  Just to give a start on  where to search first perhaps?

Definitely that sort of direction. 
That opalescent pink and mix of colours to produce something so attractive requires a competent maker, whoever it is and when ever it was made. I just feel it doesn't quite have the delicacy of antique glass.

Is there any uranium glass present in it? That will glow bright green with UV light.

An interesting piece for your first post, JasonHamilton! Welcome to the board.

I haven't check on the uranium glass. I'll get a black light today. Thanks so much for your interest. The collection this came out of had some extremely rare valuable pieces. I'll let you know on the uranium.

I have several extremely rare and valuable pieces; I also have a lot of rubbish. 
When collecting, you need to find your way through the rubbish to find the good stuff, learning as you go.
We don't start out buying only the top stuff, we don't know enough to be able to judge.

This is a very interesting piece and it is well made. If I'd seen it somewhere, I may well have bought it, just for the interest.

If it were Monot & Stumpf im almost certain on a piece this size it would have the concave polished finish pontil. Nice piece though.

yes, was more thinking of the era though.

So I ran across this piece doing some online research. I know this is just throwing it out there, but the cane work, thickness of the glass does remind me of Seguso's work. Here's just an example. Maybe somethingv to go on. What do you think?
