Title: Is this vase an example of the Pulegoso technique
Post by: glasseyed on August 30, 2006, 12:21:29 PM: Hi All

I bought this vase some time ago and am wondering whether it might be an example of the Pulegoso technique.

Any help as to manufacturer would be much appreciated, the vase is around 12" high and the bubbles can be felt.

Thanks

Hazel

The picture link works okay when I click on it, I'm not sure why it doesn't work for you, can anyone else see it?

I used picassa to load it onto a google blog as it seemed a good place to store it so it wouldn't disappear! :oops:

i know this a super old post and you've most probably got your answer already but i have been doing a lot of research on pulegoso lately and from your picture i would say it is as well.

have a lovely day,

Thanks for the reply, the vase is one of my favorites. It sits on my landing and catches the sunlight.

Do you have any suggestions on possible makers or dates?

Regards

Hazel

Venini (Scarpa and Martinuzzi) made a lot of pulegoso as did Seguso. i can't always tell the difference but seems that the color(s) used, pontil vs. polished base and the density of the bubbles are all clues - unless you've got a signature, acid etched or otherwise ;) i'd guess that it was produced by one of these two glass houses, though i wouldn't venture a guess as to the artist.

i suppose that there were other makers that could have made it as well but i don't know much else. maybe someone with more knowledge will come along and help us both learn a bit more :)

Post by: bidda on October 11, 2007, 08:05:53 PM: i forgot to mention that i've also seen more than a few pulegoso pieces attributed to Alfredo Barbini and Dino Martins but, if i HAD to GUESS about your vase i'd probably go with Seguso

Post by: TxSilver on October 12, 2007, 12:53:18 AM: BTW, I think Seguso did some pulegoso in this color, so Seguso is also a very good company to consider.

Post by: glasseyed on October 12, 2007, 09:49:58 AM: Thanks for the suggestions. I have had another look and the pontil is of the snap off type and has not been polished. The bubbles are very tiny and numerous, plus the outside of the vase has a very attractive iridescent sheen.

Hazel
