Title: Carlo Moretti vase?
Post by: Seventh_Tree on April 29, 2008, 09:41:18 PM

When I first saw this vase, I thought it might've been Moretti. Having now looked at pieces in the Italian Glass book, I'm not so sure now lol
It was only £4 and I like it anyway so, I won't be upset if it isn't Moretti, any ideas if it is or isn't?
Fairly heavy piece with ground out pontil

Sorry, but it doesn't look like Moretti to me (the cased bottom). They were making Moretti copies in Bulgaria for a while (I know this as a victim), but yours looks better.

I've seen photos of similar vases on another board bearing stickers saying 'Opaline Florence, Made in Italy'...
