I have been going crazy trying to identify if this is a MURANO semi flattened glass orb-- sun disk/sun catcher and if it is a Seguso.
It is 5.25" in diameter, and is stamped ITALY on the back with what looks like to me to be initials and signature of SEGUSO VERDI-- but it is very difficult to make all of this out with all of the textured colored glass.
I am unable to find a date on it. It has a glass ornamental hanger on it (the first pic should have been tilted to the right) which I have not ever seen in his work. It is swirled multicolored blue, green, orange and red, with horizontal, etched ridges and controlled bubbles. I got this from a friend & have no idea of its history.
I have just become interested in glass art and do not know very much.
THANKS for sharing your knowledge. Emily
Are you able to rub some talc into the signature to help see it?
Beautiful piece.
