Is this Murano as my research suggests? Mark I
« on: July 27, 2011, 07:05:16 AM »
Hello
I hope I'm not going to look cheeky by posting too many requests but I just wanted to get some more expert opinions on a couple of pieces that I believe to be Murano (please note, this was part of another request but Anne highlighted that it's better to list them separately). I have tried to wait a bit before calling on the good will of everyone again on this fab forum but I'm sure you can appreciate what it's like when you've got pieces that are flummoxing you!
As ever, any help, confirmation or leads would be very gratefully received.
Kind regards
Helen

We need a base shot (we always need a base shot) and dimensions please. Does the colour fade from red to amber top to bottom? Pictures are usually best against a white background.

Hello and thanks for the help / patience. I'll get there eventually. Here are more pictures as requested and the dimensions are 11 and a half inches high, 7 and a half inches wide at the base and 4 at the top. It does go from amber at the bottom to red at the top and has the two trails of glass at each side which is clear with an amber edge. Hopefully these other pictures will really do it the justice it deserves as it looks glorious in the light. I've seen other Murano pieces in similar colour ways but nothing in quite this style.
Thanks in anticipation of any words of wisdom.
Kind regards
Helen
