Empoli or Holmegaard
Hi!
So I've not been able to find a perfect match for two vases I've had for 30 years or so. I've found an Empoli vase that is similar, but there is no curve to the sides, and it's more orangey. I can find a curved bottom half on a Holmegaard vase, but it has the classic bobble half way up and a flared lip, but the red colour is closer. But nowhere can I find this exact vase shape to identify it.
Any one with a keener eye, or better knowledge out there?
(the colours on the white background are closer to how they look in real life)

So I'm going with that! Neither Empoli or Holmegaard but Murano Balboa.

Balboa were an export company, not a manufacturer. I believe they also exported from Empoli as well as Murano
