Title: Is This A Piece of Murano
Post by: artyroy on January 14, 2012, 08:36:30 PM

 :help:
Hi you good and knowledgable people of GMB , can anybody give me a clue to where or who this piece of glass comes from and who made it ?? I have this freeform design bowl which measures 13" across and 4" high , in an encased glass of white and blue swirl pattern , a quatrafoil design. I have included 3 photos , Top , Base and Side angles.
I look forward to any replies and thank you all now for taking the time to view this and give any positive answers. Thank you Roy

Polish I would say, something like Makora

I have seen such pieces in TK Max with spurious Murano labels on them - quite modern but attractive non the less.

Hi there:

IMHO, I would say (newer) Arte Lavorazione Murano....see  HERE  (http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,30943.0.html)  It probably had a label on it that looked like this one  **HERE  (http://www.ebay.ca/itm/VINTAGE-LAVORAZIONE-ARTE-MURANO-DESIGNED-BLOWN-GLASS-HOME-DECOR-MADE-ITALY-/360418678528?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item53eaa09700), IMHO.

If you like it, that is all that matters.  I do not collect these pieces myself but others may.  Pretty sure that is what your bowl is, but others may have some more opinions.

Also wanted to point out this about Arte Murano for you to read    **HERE  (http://www.fossilfly.com/Forums/showthread.php?t=3983)     Good to read the info there, and better described than I did.
