    Maggadora
    (14 items)

    This vase is very unique. I bought it in an antique store many years ago, even though it was a bit damaged. It has crack on the neck that have been repaired. Even for that I wanted it, because I find it very charming and somewhat strange :-) I think this color is called amber??? it is kind a brown, little greenish and tiny golden :-) Sorry English is not my first language. The glass have a little golden glow when the light hits it in a certain way :-)

    The vase is about 13cm tall.

    Does anyone know anything about this item? Have you seen an item like this?

      Hi, found it! From Iceland is maggadora? Glass is from Murano. Very good piece. I was put off by the "how much is it worth"? It looks like a 'losanghe', 'murrhine' or 'pezzato'. That is quite different from the Ruckl. It is more constructed. The Ruckl pieces are more haphazard, I think. The coral red colour is very nice.
