Requesting help with identification. Salviati?
« on: September 20, 2023, 03:01:59 AM »
Hoping someone can point me in the right direction to identify the glasses my mother bought from an Antique Shop in the seventies. Previous searching leads me to think they may be Venetian, possibly Salviati? But how could I confirm this and I'm also interested  in how old they are. Any pointers would be welcome. Thanks for your help.

  Your attribution of Venetian may be as good as it gets. Generally unmarked glasses similar to yours are given that attribution based on design.workmanship, etc. Your glasses seem to have all the requirements. Fairly thin light weight glass expertly blown. Date can be problematic as this type made over a long period. While hardly an expert I would guess no earlier than 1920s solely based on the shape of the glass forefront right in the picture.

No earlier than the 1920s is very helpful, thanks very much for your reply Cagney, much appreciated.

A couple more photos might be useful, one showing a single glass and another the base clearly.

Assuming that they are from Murano, the 1920s or later would fit in terms of style, the fashion of the times turned to far simple wares. Out went the complexity and 'fussiness' that had been enjoyed by the Victorians for so long and in came simplicity and elegance, sophistication trumping bling to my eye!
