Post by: Glasshound on October 24, 2006, 05:43:03 PM: Never thought of that...it doesn't really strike me as Steuben..especially the color..

I'll have to disagree with you on this one...this vase has a definite "Italian" look to it....the pieces you're referring to are Polish and VERY different in design..

I am fairly certain that I saw the same or very similar item on a Polish Glass website. The problem is which one :roll:

Post by: Connie on October 24, 2006, 08:58:16 PM: Sorry to disappoint you, Blair. But I have never had a chance to get a better picture of the mark on the bottom or send the images to the CMOG.

I wouldn't add it to my store because a)I am keeping it and b)I am closing my store anyway to do other things.

Post by: Connie on October 24, 2006, 11:42:01 PM: We seem to be hijacking your thread and I think we are destined for the cafe :lol:

But yes, I am going out of business totally. I have been selling on line since Jan 1998, so almost 9 years. For the past year or so, I have found my business to be more of a burden rather than an enjoyment. Life is too short to work at something you don't enjoy, so it is time for me to move on :)

I remember seeing another vase in amber and gold flecks with hanging rings like yours, but it was Salviati (the sellers attribution), and much more ornate. It had a lot of scroll decoration on the handles.

Yours does look like an older piece, but I am thinking it shouldnt be so clean and sleek. Also the large snails applied to it seem a little weird to me. Worth a look at Laura's suggestion.
