Title: Interesting little vase with white applied decor - please enlighten me
Post by: charliepedro on November 12, 2011, 11:58:46 PM: Hi guys,

Has anyone seen this kind of vase before? Its a lovely tactile little vase but I have no real clue as to origin but thinking probably Murano. Does anyone know?

Cheers, Charlene

- not saying it is Harrach but maybe just an avenue to explore

I'm so sorry for only just responding - thanks for your guidance on this one. A friend of mine has since suggested it could quite possibly be by Sowerby - is this out of the question?

Thanks & Happy New Year! Charlene :)
