Topic: Elme or Murano - can you help?

[Pip]

I think that the reason Emmi's vase and mine look different with regard to the vibrancy of the colours is down to the lighting - my vase was photographed under bright lights whereas Emmi's photo looks like it was taken in daylight.  My vase is definitely very true to the photograph - it's extremely bright and lairy    I think we're safe in saying that we all pretty much agree that the peacock vases were definitely Elme - how safe therefore is it to say that my vase and Emmi's with the white necks and slanted striping across the body are also Elme based purely on the colour and finish?

Mine is very crisp and vibrant ......my photo is rubbish taken without too much care when I first got my camera 2 years ago, just for my personal records and not for selling purposes.  Can't do a new one as it is not to hand, but have just washed the Peacock and from memory, the two have practically identical orange colours.  My vase similar to Pip's under discussion has quite a high shine, very smooth finish, feels "cold" to the touch, if you know what I mean, and I would agree they appear to be by the same maker.  What more can I say?  Emmi

PS When I purchased this vase, I thought it may be Italian!!!!! But never thought to try to get an attribution as I just liked it for what it is.

Pip, did you come to a conclusion on this vase? I'd be interested to know.  Emmi

Well Emmi, I'm pretty certain based on what I've seen on eBay, on other websites and what's been said on here and who has said it that both our vases are Elme. I relayed this information to my buyer but he's still not at all convinced and when I pointed him in the direction of the one with the label that Sue posted the link for I was disappointed that he thinks the label has been affixed and isn't correct!  The buyer is a serious collector and I wouldn't like to just dismiss his viewpoint - I've given him the link to this discussion hoping he'll join up and get stuck into the debate but I think he's away at the moment.  Anyway, to answer your question - no I'm none the wiser really!

I've seen a fair few of the 'peacock' patterned range with either Elme or 'Made In Sweden' labels, including my own piece.

Several instances of unrelated sellers in more than one country passing off the same design with erroniously attached labels from a relatively unknown glassworks isn't terribly likely in my opinion... for what it's worth.

I hope he joins in the tussle too, though.
