What would Sunday be like without an art glass bowl (ashtray). There is 3 layers to this blue, then a thin layer of white topped off with a toffee yellow and then a clear coat overall. Unfortunately there is a couple of small bits of black that got in there when it was made but still a beautiful thing. I think maybe Barbini. 170mm wide by 68mm high so fairly substantial.
i doubt this the aqua is too harsh and there is no sliding in the sommerso to me it looks generic
the workmanship is very poor, highly unlikely Barbini made it unless he has been reincarnated and now works in a factory in Asia
you don,t get it do you we are not here to burn down pieces , but to promote pieces and being moderate
nobody is burning anything down ;-)
it was simply a comment about the attribution of the piece
if the owner likes the piece, that is all that is important
1stDibs, Chairish, Pamono..... are chock-full of mis-attributions or outright lies
I always thought of CW as where the old school experts posted ;-)
when money is involded , people become Faust, the structure of these companies is more complicated , sometimes they are just hosting, or an conglomeration business,sometimes they are on the top of the foodchain by means of an plethora of business liasons,
i am not an murano expert, i got some knowledge , but got the right high brow connections , and reasonable equipped, that is all
i can only assess the chinese porcelain niche branch, probably i am to big to fail
because the auctionhouses compensate me quite a lot of times if the attribution is wrong , and they are in trouble when they have to withdraw
Oh dear and with a Murano Italy label

i think the academical question is an scallop rim foliate mandatory in consistency with the quality , end of discussion, by the way i am not an expert , but i sell murano for 30 years
