Stands 12 1/2" tall. Very thick - 1/4" plus. It weighs 4 1/2 lbs. The red is not solid but looks a bit mottled. The piece is ribbed. It is blown, pontil mark polished. Foot ground in places - I assume so that it will sit flat. There are air bubbles in the glass.
Any help to identify would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Could well be Murano.
I like the feathering on this piece.
Thanks for sharing it.
Crate and Barrel, Pottery Barn, and Pier One have flooded the thrift market with "very antique" looking glass. I have 6 pieces, it fooled me. I am not saying yours is Chinese, but 2 I swore were Barbini. Its a beautiful piece either way!
