Tall &#34;Murano Stvle&#34; Turquoise &#34;Ribbed
Glass&#34; Vase
• While this is in the Murano style of glass
blown pieces, and does resemble
Rossini, Empoli, and Archimede Seguso
in the ribbing, the colour, and the weight,
there is no comparison with the base of
this vase, so this was not made in Italy.
• Similarly the base shows a distinct
pontil and interesting &#34;pebbly&#34; foot, so
not Chinese either, and I think it will
remain a &#34;mystery&#34;
• The exterior is ribbed, textured and is
visually optical.
• The top lip has nine &#34;curved petals&#34;
and the glass itself many interior bubbles
which add to the overall look.
• In excellent condition, no cracks,
bruises, or chips. View Images.

because many Orrefors pieces were
originally identified only by a gold or red
foil sticker. Once washed or used, these
labels frequently fell off, leaving the glass

Turquoise Blue &#34;Bullicante&#34; Drinking

have not been able to find out who the
maker might be.
• This is a hand blown glass, with
bullicante (controlled bubble) technique,

first blowing molten glass into a spiked
metal mold. These spikes create
indentations that trap air when a second
outer layer of clear glass is added.

polished.
