Title: Murano Red / Orange Vase with Spiral Ribs and Sillver Foil - Maker?
Post by: obscurities on May 11, 2013, 03:52:10 PM

I know that these can be tough, but hoping that someone may actually recognize the vase. Picked up while on a mini vacation, (still am).

Nicely executed and with a flat polished bottom showing some age wear. This vase stands 8 inches tall, 6.5 wide and 4.5 deep.

Any help or suggestions appreciated.

Craig:  I had fun trying to pick out where you were on vacation, but no good clues. San Juan Islands?

The vase looks Murano. The ribbing puzzles me a bit. I'm used to seeing indentations from larger ribs in the optic mould creating soft and curved ribs on the vase. Here, the ribs seem seem to cut a narrow, sharp channel in the vase, with the rest of the vase flat around those channels. If I could think of a company that produced pieces like that, we'd have an id, I think.  No such luck.
