Can anyone help? Green vase identification... Murano?
« on: March 25, 2010, 05:34:37 AM »
Hello!

Can anyone help me in identifying this vase? (At least I think it’s a vase...  forgive my ignorance).
It’s 16cm high and 41cm around at its widest point.  It has got 12 ribs which can be felt from the inside as well.  The base is smooth.

I’d appreciate any and all help.  I've searched the web for clues as to the maker, but have yet to come up with anything... Thank you!

Hi Anik,
nice vase, bottle vase?
cant help with a maker, but as you are in Poland , i suspect its probably from your part of the world.
Cheers

hi there
does the inside of the neck feel slighlty rougher to the rest of the glass or matt at all? im just thinking maybe it had a stopper and was a decanter. From your picture looks like there is a bit of wear to the base? is the base completly flat or is it concave at all?
looks like a very nice piece.

Hello!  Thank you for your interest  :)

The inside of the neck is perfectly smooth and shiny (as shiny as the outside)...
As for the base, it is completely flat.  There are only a few scatches from wear...  maybe even too few to be anything 'old'?
Whatever it is, I think it's absolutely lovely -- and much prettier in real life than what I have captured in the pictures. 

But I'm still interested in the maker :)  Maybe someone will know something?  Anything? 

All the best!

I don't think it's Jablonski....

It's really lovely.... I've never seen anything like this before, not with the lobes all angled like this.
It's a very elegant shape too.. there's something "just right" about it

I'm still interested, but still don't have a clue!
I'd love to hear what Ivo thinks about it, but as he hasn't said anything yet, I'd imagine he's not sure.

I don't think anything about it as I am 404. It is well designed, well made and well finished. I don't think it is Polish - I'd sooner look in the direction of Germany (Eisch or Joska perhaps?) but really, I'm clueless.
