Ken,

Does not surprise me at all that the designers do not touch the glass. Most of it that I have seen has bad color combinations and is "loud" in terms of designs and colors.  Much of it turns up on ebay without labels and offered as Italian glass.
I have been told that glass is my mistress......

Here is an example of a legitimate Pillow Vase from Archimede Seguso. This measures 7-1/4" (18.4 cm) tall and approximately 6-1/4" (15.9 cm) across. It is cranberry cased cobalt all cased in crystal, lightly at the base and heavier towards the top. This is the second of these we have owned and have seen a few of the other imitators. The other we had was white opalino.
