Title: ID Help Needed on Circa 50's-60's Murano Centerpiece
Post by: APEXantiques on December 02, 2024, 09:05:41 AM

Hi folks,

My grandparents bought this lovely Murano Centerpiece abroad in around 1967 & had it sent back to Australia ahead of their arrival.
  It has it's original foil makers/retailers label intact but apart from that, no visible (to me) makers marks.

That's a generic Murano label and it might be difficult to pin down a maker but it's possibly Cristallo Venezia CCC, some information is shown here:

I had actually found the info on 20th C Glass earlier today on Cristallo Venezia CCC believe it or not!!
 I've had that site bookmarked as a resource for glass information for close to 10 years, maybe more....so long ago Japanese Art Glass was still a dirty word!!
I'm ok with it being Cristallo Venezia CCC, at a whopping 78cm long, 38cm deep & 28cm tall it's one heck of a monumental decorative piece of glass!
