Title: Slender cased glass vase, Murano?
Post by: davidfish1212 on August 30, 2009, 02:42:02 PM
Hi, my second find today is this, I think, beautiful, slender cased glass vase. The outer glass has a yellow/green tinge to it, the inner reddy pink. I cant see any air bubbles trapped inside, would this be Italian/Murano glass. It stands 12" tall.
Cheers, David.

Mod: subject amended to something more descriptive! :)

Looks like Murano to me. The outer layer may even be uranium glass

From the shape of the neck and rim, I would say it is a Cenedese vase. I found one that had a label on eBay (#320414573577). These come in different colors. There are another set of blue ones being offered on eBay. Nice find!

It is a great piece of glass. I am drooling over it...   :mrgreen:  :mrgreen: 

The color combo is fabulous....

I would be surprised if the middle layer does not glow with a black light. It appears to me to be a tripple sommerso with an internal red vessel, outside that is the vaseline, and it is cased finally in clear....

It would look absolutely great on this table   ;D :
Just let me know if you need my shipping address   :thup:

I didn't pay enough attention to the size of the vase. The ones on eBay are 8-9 inches tall. The shape is still right for Cenedese. I'd feel more certain if we could locate one that is 12" tall. It definitely is a gorgeous vase.

Craig, I'm the jelous one, that is an amazing table of glass :mrgreen: I think you are right about triple cased, I thought that it had the outer clear glass. I will have to try it with the back light. I'll keep you in mind if  do move it on, but for now its mine to enjoy :thup: :thup:
Anita, thanks for the info, I had never even heard of Cenedese before you mentioned it, I have looked at the ones on Ebay and see what you mean about the shape ( although mine is much nicer in colour!! ;D ) It would be great if I could place it as a Cenedese vase, maybe out there is another one like mine with a label :thup:
Cheers guys, David

The color on your vase is our favorite Italian color combination......  It all started with a bowl at a yard sale for $10 about 8 years ago. Really nice pieces, like the one you found, are tough to come by.......  Enjoy it, I know I would... it was a great score.....
