Topic: question about different Murano designs, tutti frutti, end of day............

[jonspencer]

I am trying to understand the difference in these designs or styles

all pieces and photos are mine

the first I assume is tutti frutti from AVeM

then supposedly there is no such thing as "end of day" > was just a myth?

so I am interested in how you would refer to these 3 other types of design?

End of the day glass: http://www.glassencyclopedia.com/endofdayglass.html
Spatter glass: http://www.glassencyclopedia.com/spatterglass.html

The Glass Encyclopedia has loads of information which will help you learn about different types of glass, and the Glass Museum had expanded articles on a whole range of glass subjects that help to expand your knowledge. Both sites are owned by the same person as owns this message board and you will find a link to them both at the foot of each page of the message board for convenience. Hope this helps.

In Murano we identify your first photo as Bizantino piece from AVEM.
Made with Zanfirico, reticello, retorti, silver leaf and sometimes Avventurina

thanks for the feedback, this Bizantino style is probably my favourite from Murano

I visit lots of markets + shops and I rarely see Biazantino pieces for sale

For your pleasure my Bizantino items ....

[jonspencer]

very cool, I like your collection

by coincidence I bought a Bizantino piece today, they are like detailed abstract paintings, you see something new each time you look at them

Could you please show me a pic of the other side ?   Thank You

both pieces I have the bottom is identical

dark green. polished with tiny slit for pontil

not much to photo

And today I have got a problem .... to choose which one to buy  between such beautiful AVEM items !

[jonspencer]

if I could only buy one, would probably select the biggest one 

on the rare times I have seen these Bizantino pieces for sale, they were fairly small
