Title: Archimedes seguso? Blue/green cornucopia or seashell
Post by: MojoMadness on October 03, 2015, 09:32:20 PM

I've searched the Internet, but only found pics that were similar to this, couldn't find an exact match. Is it a shell or a cornucopia?!  Looks like it could be either!  It's unmarked but I believe it's Murano.  Does anyone have any information about this piece?

Also, is it common for Murano glass to be unmarked or unsigned?

Thank you so much!

 This was moved from "Murano" to "Glass" - was that a hint that it's not Murano?   :D

I'm very new at this!

Glass is the best place for unknown items (it does not imply that it is not from Murano). Most glass is not marked and once any label falls off...

Shell or cornucopia, either would be fine I think, very likely Murano but I don't think it is from A Seguso, several companies will have made similar.

Thank you, John.  It's difficult to know where/how to start in my newly discovered interest in glass.  Your response was helpful!

Archimede Seguso circa 1950, almost certainly.

I would think it is Murano too....My opinion.

try google images and search term seguso shell. Cornucopias have feet, it seems.
