I Love, Love, Love this vase! This bueaty is so fine and in absolutly perfect condition. The shape is so simple. Its 3 layers but so incredibly thin. First is a fiery pink\orange then a layer of gold specks and then a swirly cloud of opal. The applied foot shows the gold specks. There are some tiny " scratches or markes" under the foot but I cant make them out and the camera dosent pick them up. I did buy this from a dealer ( more then 25 years ago) but they had no history on it. Can anybody tell me about my bueaty!!
I love the simplicity and the colour - some pieces just grab ya like that.
It's very pretty. this is not burst foil though. It's a gold aventurine. This one is mid century Italian. Murano. It's a very fine piece. :) Someone who knows about Italian glass may be able to hazard a maker guess.
Thank you for the feed back. Untill now Iv had zero clues on what or even where to begin looking. But I do see a " gold foil burst " effect where the gold is overlapped and expanded and in mine to the point of being just tiny specks. I'll check out your lead. Thanx again!
I love the shape and that pad foot is really nice. Why not look at Tomaso Buzzi who designed for Venini if only to have a place to start looking?
I'll do that!
