I wonder if this vase could be a Murano vase and then who have done it?
Grateful for answer,
Evergreen

Anymore pics???...

Here is a picture from the side of the vase...

Base pictures and dimension information are helpful too please.

In the middle of the vase its conrolled bubbles with oval shapes in the glass that can be hard to see on the pictures. So the controlled bubbles goes from round shapes highest up, in the middle oval and then in the bottom they are round again.

The size is about 10.6 in / 27 cm high and its about 4.7 in /12 cm wide.

Hi:
I saw this vase here and when you you posted it on the other board. It mystified me, and, because of the lack of response, I presume others felt the same. But here are my thoughts, for what they're worth. It looks more Czech than Murano, the colours the protrusions, the bubbles. However, I haven't seen a Czech vase that looks like it.
My suggestion would be to reply to this thread asking a moderator for it to be moved out of the Murano section and into the Glass section. That way, more people would see it, particularly those with some expertise in Czech glass. I wouldn't start a thread in Murano unless I was fairly certain that the piece was Murano. If it turns out to be Murano, it can always be moved back here.
Good luck.

Thanks David for helping me in my search to find the maker of my vase.
Moderator, could you please move this thread to the Glass section.

Hello kane_u_pain,
Your multi colour sommerso vase looks very nice! First time I see a vase like that so I'm looking forward to get the answers of makerers / maker from both of our vases.

Hi:
Just so you can see why some people have suggested Czech, look at this link. I'm not suggesting that it's the same vase (no bubbles) but it looks close in spirit. Also, I'm not sure that the eBay attribution is right. I'm still looking.

Thanks for your reply!
I agree with you, the vases look like the can come from the same maker as the one you linked to.
Starting to get more and more interested of Czech glass. Is there any good site where you can read about Czech glass?

Evergreen:
I don't know of a good site for reading about Czech glass. Dusan at this site http://picasaweb.google.com/exat53?feat=content_notification has a very good collection of photographs of Czech pieces. Then there are two books, Marcus Newhall, Sklo Union, for a very good and comprehensive account WWII Czech pressed glass, and Mark Hill for a general overview of post WW II Czech glass plus a good selection of photographs on glass like this as well as pressed glass. Another book is Helmut Ricke, Czech Glass, which deals predominantly with the pieces of glass I could never afford.
Hope this helps, and I also hope somebody can jump in and suggest some other sites.
