Cased Glass Decanter Possibly Blenko or Murano ??

Post by VeryGreennkeen on Sun Dec 11, 2011 10:10 pm

Hi folks, thanks for having a look at this decanter any thoughts as to origin greatly appereciated.

Its a green bodied decannter with stopper cased in a light rose pink. Base has ground pontil and contact edge wear consistant of age possibly around 60s-70s at a wild guess only.

I was originally thinking maybe Blenko but cant find any cased examplers in these colours.
So thoughts turned to Murano perhaps....... .. .. .or is it another TK Max/ china job but i dont think so.

Almost certainly Murano, probably 1950s-70s.

I've seen them often attributed to Flavio Poli for Seguso Vetri d'Arte, but I've only ever seen them bearing generic 'Made In Murano' labels - which tended not to be used by Seguso.

But definitely not TK Maxx fare. Most Excellent
