Thrift Store find. In perfect condition. 11 1/4" Tall ~ 5 1/2" Wide ~ 3" Deep ~ 6 lb, 2.4 oz. I'm not sure if this is an Ann Primrose, I haven't been able to pin the sticker down, and I've never seen one like it before. Any thoughts?

OMG, this is just stunning. Wow.
Thanks Katherine. Appreciate the validation. I'm kinda in love with it. Saw it yesterday, got up this morning decided to make a try for it. Made him an offer and he went for it. It's a Good Day!
Check out Archimede Seguso.

Lovely piece Deano, but unfortunately, it's Chinese. The "Cristalleria D'Arte" labels are attached to Chinese "Muranos". The label is often found like yours (most common) or with some "specialty" lines like Ann Primrose or Minchilla. I bought several of these when I first started collecting only to later learn from sites like "Fossilfly" and "Glass Message Board" their true origin. Here's a post where we discussed the Cristalleria D'Arte label. http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/152009-murano-labels
Thanks Rick. I have read some of the things about Ann Primrose and I'll admit, I am dismayed. She is a real person, but all her work is lumped into the catagory of Chinese. Hard to understand. I haven't figured out what I'm going to do yet, maybe sell it. I bought it way low, so I will make out ok. Too bad though.
Like I said, I've purchased some myself, - and still own a couple - so I know it's disappointing. Regardless, it's still a lovely vase.
Thanks for the Love to Alan2310, Fixitjmc, Rick55.
Interesting point here -- How much difference a label can make on an item. There are some good looking pieces coming from other places.
These pieces here *look* Murano -- but are not-- and I know that they say (now) "BRAZILIAN Murano INSPIRED Glass Vase".....but not true Murano Glass -- as made in Brazil !! Once they lose their labels, we will have to be on our toes.
