Topic: Striking ribbed vase with flower top - who made it?

[chilternhills]

Just bought this very striking vase. I don't known who made it. It's about 29 cm tall. There are no marks.

Thanks for any pointers.

sorry, absolutely no idea, other than saying the shape looks to be giving a nod toward a jip design  -  this may or may not (I suspect the latter) be worth investigating.

Could it be by Murero, made in Empoli, Florence, Italy?

Anton, I looked at other Murero vases online and the stems seem to be much plainer than yours. I did, however, find this one which has a similar body to yours although the flower at the top is slightly different https://www.proantic.com/en/display.php?id=445146 - it has a dozen images too, which allows you to compare it well with yours, including the base; and another with a similar style top to yours - again with multiple images - https://vintageatthelinge.com/listing/968010974/beautiful-green-white-and-yellow-murano - hope these might be useful.

Thanks Anne. The second link is definitely similar to my vase. But the attribution to Murano I suspect is just a guess, IMO. But made in Italy seems to be possible.
