Title: Large Murano? I Do Not Know What To Call This Pair
Post by: Ohio on November 24, 2012, 05:48:09 AM
Went to the annual day after Thanksgiving season opener of local indoor show & came home with these. People were selling pieces from Grandfather's collection since he was in a nursing home. They didn't have much info, only he said these were from either the 20s or 30s they thought. Awfully difficult get any good photos since glass is gold with gold spiras throughout. 16" height & 4" diameter for the most part, very fragile & the reason I don't know what to call them is each has a 10" dauber not unlike a perfume bottle...never seen anything like them. Thanks for any info, opinions, etc. I know any manufacturer's attribution is probably very difficult, they are almost a work of art in their detailing. Ken

Wow thanks Ivo, much appreciated. I didn't know they may be that early. They are so fragile its a miracle they are intact, especially the daubers or whatever they would be called in this case. These I will keep as its tough these days over here to find any decent decorative art Murano...the Chinese stuff is literally everywhere. Ken
