Title: I cant ID this anywhere on the net.Italian crystal & silver footed dish.
Post by: freesky on May 20, 2008, 10:18:54 AM
Hi,
 I have a footed dish which has a sticker on it which reads,"CREAZIONI SUSY MODELLI ESCLUSIVI,CRISTALLO E ARGENTO 925,LAVORATO A MANA,SUSY." translates to, "Creations SUSY models exclusive rights,Crystal and Silver,Worked by Hand,SUSY." (R 925 is stamped in the silver footing)The dish is a clear blue flower shape and the footing is Silver with leaves,grapes,apples and pears.Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Hello, you can't do better for an identity than having an original manufacturer's sticker!!!!

Hi freesky and welcome to the board. You don't need to post the same question in more than one forum as that confuses us, just post into Glass and if it needs moving then post a reply asking for a moderator to shift it over for you.

Can I ask for your photos to be a little larger as well please - they are quite hard to see - a good size is about 600 pixels each way - that should give an image between 5" or 6" across and let us see the detail. :)

Can't help with who the Susy is of your piece - perhaps someone else will be able to add more.

I know who made it, but try typing SUSY creations in a search engine...you get bupkiss!NO mention,history,nothing.It's like this came from Mars(the italian part.)

The largest size you can add here is governed by the filesize which is 125kb - if you save your images for the web -i.e. as jpg format at 96dpi and use a 40% compression ratio you should be able to create an image of around 8" x 6" in size and it still be well under the 125kb filesize.  See example below - big enough to see and yet still only 27kb. If you need help optimising images either ask below or send me copies by email and I'll optimise them for you.  8)

BY the way, a closeup of the label would be good as well please. I've seen another like yours on eBay.it but can't see the label clearly on that either...  http://cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310035704108 - but the listing might help some more.

Typing Susy creations into a search engine won't help you find an Italian company. There is a knitwear company called Susy Creazoni in Susio. I also found this (http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-MURANO-Creazioni-Susy-Tipo-Art-Glass-Smurf-Pen_W0QQitemZ7382560290QQihZ019QQcategoryZ994QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) Note the tipo Murano and the use of metalware again. If I had to guess I would say made in the Far East and assembled and marketed in Italy, possibly under the knitwear company's brand

Can be one of those Chinese Murano things that we know exist.
