Title: Murano? dish withmoulded flower detail URANIUM very gawdy
Post by: jonchellycain on August 10, 2009, 08:15:06 PM

Hi there
 i picked this up as it was so Gawdy and kitsch its kinda nice. Its made from a red glass (thin top layer) with bright yellow (which i think is the Uranium layer) cased on clear glass. Under each pulled lip there is a flower detail.
Quite a heavy piece  i would imagine 1950's heavy wear to the base  which has a large ground and polished pontil with 2 grooves in the centre.
From point to point its 20cms, 9cms tall. Its real chunky & ugly but there is just something thats drawing me to it.
any ideas on which factory or even a designer or am i completly wrong and this is something amazing  :24:
many thanks
michelle

I've been meaning to say I've no idea where this was made; I've never seen anything like it with that moulded detail, but it is rather nice.

still no luck finding anything on this one, gut instinct says murano which factory i have no idea really though, could it be pre 1950's?? as the wear is pretty heavy maybe 1930's?
anybody have any new ideas?
cheers
michelle

I'm sure we've had those on the board before, but don't think they were ever identified.
