Title: Please can you help identify the maker/artist?
Post by: Jazzy64 on April 14, 2019, 02:19:24 PM

Hi,

Please can anyone help identify the marker or artist of this double gourd shaped vase?

The height is 13 cms and max width is 9 cms.

Applied foot to the base with concave polished pontil.

There is a signature inside the pontil or possibly factory/studio name.

Clear glass base colour with two vertical rows of murrines red/black which appear red/purple when held in the light.

Looks and feels great quality.

I look forward to hearing from you and many thanks.

J  :)

It looks like Valentine... something-perhaps-beginning-with-an-M.  ;D

Hi,

We also thought the first word could be Valentine but of course it may not be. Signatures are so difficult to read, sometimes you recognise the signature of a piece of glass purely by the form. This is one we have certainly not come across before.

Many thanks

I'm not sure I've seen glass like that before.
It's (in general and overall) very like some West German ceramics.  :)

Maybe Valentina Murano perhaps a piece from Adriano Della Valentina.

Caveat - I know nothing about Murano glass and have no idea if the signature is correct though.

Hmm, I've modified the middle part of the name three times now - it could be 'Dalla' as that seems to come up on search.  Maybe Stefano Dalla Valentina?

Another piece here listed as 'for Oggetti'

You're welcome :)

However I think further investigation is needed.  Is it by Adriano or by Stefano for example?

You could try sending a picture to them to ask for information and if they recognise it.
Please do let us know if you do and they answer :)
