Cased Glass Vase - Italy or Swedish?
« on: August 20, 2013, 03:07:31 PM »
Bought this recently thinking it was a Holmegaard Carnaby, now not so sure. Looks like maybe a caramel colored cased glass vase from  Italy. What do you think? And of course, it can always be brand new from China.... :)
Any opinions are appreciated. Thanks!

Italy does look favourite, Empoli region perhaps going by the colour, Wayne shows a few other colours plus a labelled one here: http://www.20thcenturyglass.com/glass_encyclopedia/scandinavian_glass/other_glass/otherscandglass_hooped.html
