Title: Large polychrome hand-blown vase
Post by: neil53 on October 10, 2020, 02:04:44 PM

The vase is in a polychrome colourway with streaks of blue, green, brown and mixtures thereof and is 30 cm (12 inches) in height and 13 cm (5.2 inches) across at its widest point.  It weighs 1.5 kg. (~ 3 lb 5 oz.).  There is no discernible designer or maker's mark.

Nice aren't they, assuming yours is thick walled and heavy. Certain they are contemporary Chinese imports.

Hello John, thank you so much.  I suspected as much but was thrown by the neat pontil mark and the obvious handworking of the wrythening.  Stay safe and well.

Thank you, you too, doing my best here!

Thought I would have a very quick search on alibaba to see if I could find this particular design, drew a blank but maybe I used the wrong search term (in this case murano). Along with the familiar products there are lots of new designs available that will add to confusion down the line...

Some we are familiar with:
