Title: Milk Glass with Frilled Blue Edge,old or new,suprise me! Murano? Seguso?
Post by: kitty-kat1234 on July 29, 2011, 04:51:47 AM

Hi,i have had these for afew years,anyone know if they are they old or new?
Knowing my luck they are prob new :huh:
They are quite heavy & have a slight silky or such look/feel.
The only marker i was thinking off if old is Fenton,coz thats the only one i know ;D

I think they are old and probably finger bowls, perhaps 20/30s as they don't look quite Victorian. I could be quite wrong but I'm pretty certain they're not Fenton at least. Fenton is very white and opaque looking. What is the base like? Is there a sort of foot?

Hi,thanks for keeping my dream alive for a little longer :smg:

I have searched & searched & cannot find any milk glass like it,yay perhaps its rare & very old :24: :ooh: :pb:
Will keep looking,i have other milk glass which is so very different to these pieces as well.
As i said these are silky,will have a look through them up to a light ,don't know i might learn something!

cheers kat

Sorry forgot to say,yep they do have a foot so to speck.
Can you see the foot in photo 1,can do another?
The foot is the same as the body,silky smooth with no marks.

 ;D

Hi Kat,
can´t rellay make out, what their bases look like... Do you mean they don´t have pontil marks?
Are they ground or fire polished?

Murano...early 30's to early 40's. Good quality as well. Does one of the bowls fit in the plate?

Edited - Just noticed...both the bowls the same???...(a little tired at the moment)...

Yes i am a pain...all my friends tell me that... ;D

I wouldn't take this as a definitive answer to your pieces, but I believe they could be early Seguso Vetri d'Arte pieces. If they are, they would be mid 1930's and no later than the early 40's. I had a discussion with a friend (stole your pics to email - sorry) who has owned something similar but has long since sold them. His pieces were labeled.

His were in a different colourway to yours, a amber/clear colourway with the blue edging. These are not common to come by and are rare! Once again, not a definitive answer/id to your pieces but a start.

The base of the bowls and plate along with the blue trailing is very similar with some of the early soffiato SVdA pieces I own (none in the white/milk colour). If these are indeed SVdA, this white/milk glass along with the blue trailing is rare...*drools

I'm going to pop Murano in the header to see whether we can firm up the maker before moving it to the Murano board, if that's okay.

I'd think Baccarat and Saint Louis did this type of opaline open salts in the 1870s. I have opalines from them in an identical colour, frilly edged in dark blue and red...
