Over the past year or so I've become increasingly drawn to beautiful glassware. With all their different shapes, sizes, colours, artists, origin and worth! I've dreamt about owning a Murano piece for a little while now as the pieces have this "Gorgeous Flowing Feel" about them.
Last week I was walking with my son and we noticed a pile of household goods dumped outside a home. This would mean the owners are throwing their stuff away so we had a quick look in some boxes and bags .. and found this.
I nearly pee'd my pants with excitement!
I had someone look at it and said he's 90% sure its a Murano ..
WAIT .. WHAT?? .. REALLY???
I dont even know if it is a Murano and I really dont care if it isn't!!!
.. I will pretend! :)
Don't think this is Murano, however will let the experts have the last word. It is a beautiful piece whoever made it, lucky find. Enjoy it! :)
For me, this is better than Murano.
It is Kamei glass from Japan, circa 1960s and a shape I have only seen once before.
The mix of colours here is so Kamei - other companies made rainbow glass too but this is a Kamei palette.
Kamei also more than anyone else liked to twist their glass.
I am very envious Retro!!
Wow, this is Japanese glass, Karen?? I would never have suspected -- the shape, the handle, even the colors -- so different from the rest!! Well, well. :)
Hi there -- Lovely piece to glass. Can you post a pic of the very Bottom/base pic?
I am not sure myself as Karen knows her Japanese Art glass....but I see some resemblances in the swirls with my Murano JIP Vase. At least I think........... I see some resemblances ( but it is VERY late and I am tired ...LOL ). So maybe I will look again tomorrow when my eyes have had some Z-z-z-z-z-
