Good evening again
I have this lovely vase of which is quite heavy for its size. It is not perfectly proportioned in that it is slightly taller on the back than the front. It is green and looks to be cased or is that just the thickness of the glass. Fine wavy lines of every kink has a perfectly positioned tiny air bubble. Flat polished base. Is this the likes of Italy or China or someone else. I love it wherever it is from :)
Thanks in advance

Thanks Ivo just translated that. Can I ask what is the logo on the bottom or is that non related. Obviously it explains about the type of materials and the craftmanship but how do we know it is sicily is that what the logo reads or you just know with your vast knowledge? Looking again after reading that maybe it is tiny blobs of silver on the kinks not tiny air bubbles - time to get the magnifying glass out I think.

Just google CREARE and you'll find the info. There are several locations, but the glass is in the industrial estate in Catania. When I found this bottle it had the most gddmnwfl pewter misery glued to it - the combination of priceless and age old techniques they are on about.
Creare Art Collection S.R.L. 41, Via Pilata Mezzocampo, Misterbianco, CT 95045 Italia - no website as far as I can see.

Thanks again. I have had a look through some sites but as the word Creare I think translates to create it is very difficult. There is a site Creareitalia.it but cant access as needs a password blah blah blah. All the business directories I have been into also say no web address supplied. I dont give up that easily.
Incidentally I was actually looking at a freeform Daum piece or Doom as the French pronounce it when this bottle caught my eye. Having asked the price and haggled I walked away a happy lady only having paid 4euros a total bargain in my eyes.
Right back to the web address ....
