Unusual Purple Murano? Glass Vase/Carafe??
« on: December 20, 2019, 05:09:45 PM »
Got this and feel it may have a good amount of age i think it is
Murano maybe! the stem seems to fit perfectly in between the fingers
so possibly a carafe not a vase. Would like any views as to Origins etc
It measures 8.5 " tall some wear to edges of the base are the strands Latimo?
Thank you

Can quite make out from the pictures.......is  the body completely rounded? and is that a polished Pontil?

Could this possibly be Murano Fume glass with a lattimo decoration?
