Title: Murano Glass Birds Nest.....Seguso?
Post by: msiscoe on April 28, 2016, 02:47:26 AM: Hello,

I recently saw this Murano Glass Birds Nest on the Goodwill site....thought it might be mid century Seguso...anyone have an idea?

Post by: msiscoe on April 30, 2016, 11:39:41 PM: Yes, I will post some better photos...by the way, the Goodwill photos are not copyrighted. Just watermarked.

However, because of the complications of copyright detail in various countries, the Board position regarding 3rd party photos / images is as stated in the Info, Help, Announcements forum: ADMIN: Using Copyright Material (http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,24434.msg136195.html#msg136195)

It would be good to have a picture of the base, as there may be a little signature secreted there.
I was thinking of A Zanella, but he often hid his signatures very well.

I was looking at another site for you and found this link, discussing one very similar to yours, and you might find it interesting reading.

Have a look and see what you think.

Post by: msiscoe on May 16, 2016, 02:21:03 PM: I've looked over the base very carefully and can find no signature....still a mystery....

Post by: rosieposie on May 16, 2016, 08:39:23 PM: Maybe we could see a picture of the base msiscoe? Even with no writing, the style and finish might help us to help you?
