Topic: Is this Fratelli Toso for real?

[Hel]

Yes I see what you all mean, no harm done, its not a style I like and i got for 5 $ at a thrift store.

I was going to post pictures of mine since its got a little bit different shaped handles but I don't think I´ll bother.

I´ll just pretend its something it might have been..or give it as a gift.

Thanks for commenting!

Post the pics, please, Now we all want to see it:)
Who knows, maybe you got something really good... Fratelli Toso vases are at least shaped like the one at Wunderkammershop, which just not gives the feel of being really old and these FT miniature vases are usually from early 20th century, or am I wrong here?

Yes -- Do post the pics of your item.....as it *may* be different than the one in the picture.

We can never assume it *might* be the same -- there may be different qualities yours has. 

So do post your item....Please

No, it is not Fratelli Toso. I don't know who did this specific vase. A few companies did canes bits that looked like this. I have seen the design several times, but don't remember which company did it.

Good morning Helga....please do post your picture,  remember,  it might help us all to learn and will be here as a reference for the future when one of us does eventually find one with a label....then we will all be winners,  especially you as you will know who made your vase then....OK?

I see a fair number of these at antique fairs, in fear of sounding like a total bitch I'll keep my opinions about them to myself haha.  :wsh:

I personally don't think they're FT. They look more like the sort of thing made in somewhere like Romania.

yes Dan I agree, I dont like it myself, just took it on a whim.
