Red Vase ID help?
« on: February 13, 2010, 09:09:49 PM »
Hi all

I am thinking Italian as I've seen similar but after recent posts and the Chinese liking to copy I'm going to stick everything in the glass section...

It's a lovely vase it has a flat polished base.

180mm High 80mm wide and my Italy album needs more glass...

Kind regards

Sorry to bump, but after have a browse last night I cannot help thinking this has a Flavio Poli feel, anyone else agree and is it worth sticking this in the murano section for a while?

Kind regards

It's probably not Poli and it could be Murano or it could be Czech. The red seems a little weak for Italy. Who knows without a label.  :huh:

O for a label...It's a good quality piece and it has the feel of my geometric vases so that's I'm leaning towards/hoping it's Murano...
I will keep looking and for a change will try to ID a few of my pieces, with a good look around the web!

Kind R's and many thanks for the reply

UV light? I am not sure how to this yet and I don't have the equipment, is there a quick method of checking?
Kind regards

I think the only way is by using a UV/blacklight, im not 100% sure on that though.
You can pick the little tourches up for a couple of pound off of ebay well worth the investment if your gonna be collecting/dealing with glass. Ive also got a large strip light on for home but i think i paid about £20 for that so still not incredibly expensive
If there is Uranium in the glass it will glow bright green (even visable in daylight), manganese glows orange (and i think dull green?), high lead content glows a blue and sometimes white (all under UV)
