Hi all
just picked this up, and im gonna hedge my bets on it being Chinese. But on saying that I do think that it may be Murano, the nagging doubt being the lack of wear, the size and the price i just paid i think.
It weighs in at just short of 4.5kg is 50cm tall (yes that is a full sized can of coke its dwarfing)
The base is flat and well polished the glass is of a fairly good standard.
very little age wear on the base, which would be expected on a size this piece any movement would likely cause a great deal of marks, but then on the other hand maybe because of its weight it has never been moved?, but there is good ground in dirt in the crevisis (This was bought from a charity shop so highly unlikly they have tried to age it with the dirt)
The casing looks almost like triple cased as its cranberry, pale blue then a slightly darker blue then clear cased what does everyone think?
many thanks
michelle
