Title: Monumental Murano Vase - Seguso?
Post by: Gowdod on October 18, 2015, 12:40:54 PM

Dear Glassmessagers,

acquired today, 22.5 inches tall. Has a Seguso feel to it. Any thoughts or direction to it's origins?

With kind regards to you all.

Andrew

Flygsfors Coquille designed by Paul Kedelev I believe

It should be signed then?

I do not believe it to be Flyfors...I have many Kedelv pieces...here pictures of a piece I bought this saturday...now that is an unusual piece by him.

Kind Regards

Andrew

Dear Ivo,

thanks. This may help some of you with Colour comparison.

If DaRos .... Cenedese or elsewhere?

Thanks

Andrew

Are these vases even from Murano? If not then Japan might be a possibility.

Dear GlassO,

Japan? Now that would surprise me. What leads you to believe so?

Thanks

Well.. just a possibility and this is a crude generalisation, Japanese glass can sometimes be a bit generic in design, high quality and colourful, the vases in question seem to fit these criteria for me.

Some examples of Japanese glass likely from the same sort of time period : http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,44439.msg247564.html
