Victorian style applied vase - any ID please?
« on: February 09, 2022, 08:35:31 PM »
Are any of you good folks able to ID this vase please? It has all the traits of the Victorian style glass but something tells me it isn't. It is quite thick glass and has a 'cumbersome' feel to it. I would go as far as saying that it is crudely made. Looks lovely from a distance but close up, well you know!
The base has a snapped pontil that is rough. Height is 7 inches. Thank you as always for any input.

It could be Gordiola.  I haven't looked at their pieces recently so don't know the colours but they did make similar.

Thank you flying free. I've had a good look at Gordiola but I can't find anything resembling it but I can see some similarities. I had a good mooch on the net this morning and came across some Murano pieces, particularly by Franco Toffolo...all with the same applied detail and indeed, with some matching colours. The problem is that they are all those Murano male and female figurines and I couldn't find a vase with the same detail. They are all signed too and to be honest, there is a squiggle on the base of my vase but I assumed it was just a mark from a grinder. The search continues and thanks again, of course, for your input.
