Mid-century Italian ceramic art dish

Hi all - happy to share a piece I recently picked up for my collection :)

I’m unable to figure out the monogram/signature on the piece and hoping someone may be able to assist :)

Many thanks in advance!

Nero, purple and amber battuto glass vase with a ground and flat polished base - appears to be signed/marked

Hello all :)

Happy to share this stunning piece in my collection and would love some help in identification if possible. To my eye it seems somewhat contemporary, but would welcome any thoughts and opinions on the piece

Dimensions:

Height: ~25cm
Width: ~10cm
Weight: ~1.15kg

The possible markings on the base are almost lost to the sands of time, however - with some angled light and contrast, some lettering appears to pop out

Purchase on eBay - the seller has another identical piece (as identical as can be when hand-worked!) - I have asked him to inspect his piece’s base to see if similar markings can be found.

If found I will update/reupload the post with both sets of images, with his permission, for comparison.

Any help in identification would be greatly appreciated
- many thanks in advance :)

Beautiful vintage Italian art ceramic/pottery dish depicting a floral lady with candle - can anyone identify the potential maker/origins?

Hi all!

Recently added this piece to my collection and hoping for an ID and potential identification of the signature/monogram on the back

Many thanks in advance :)

Asymmetrical beaten glass vase - appears signed with multiple additional marks

Hoping someone may be able to assist in identifying a piece which I’ve been stuck on for weeks.

Battuto style deep blue (almost black) asymmetrical vase with a polished base and polished concave pontil area.

There appears to be an engraved monogram/signature on the Pontil area embellished with a profile view of a lions head.

As well as additional markings on the piece itself - perhaps initials, followed by a piece number/date, and some control marks/additional symbols.

Very much almost worn away through time - and tough to see without contrast effects and angled light

Hoping someone may be able to provide some information on this piece! Many thanks in advance 🙂

Dimensions:

~24cm height
~11cm width
~1.4kg

Reuploading with some clearer images following the guidance here, and some higher resolution images of the texture and base of the piece - guidance so far has suggested that this piece may be Murano:

Dimensions are roughly:
15cm width
6cm height
1.1kg weight

Happy to provide additional details upon request

Any help in identifying the piece’s attributes and maker would be greatly appreciated - many thanks in advance!

New to my collection - Inciso (?) glass bowl with Made in Italy sticker

Has wavy ridges going along the piece in 2 sections going around the piece, one below the rim, and one lower down.

Wondering whether this piece is inciso, and who could have made it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

Art glass piece with a monogram/signature embellished with a lion on the polished/indented pontil - any ideas where/who made this? Appears to be vintage based on the wear

Glass piece with markings on the underside - can anyone read what’s written on it?

Hi all - uploaded this earlier but realised that pictures aren’t clear enough so have uploaded gifs instead.

This is a glass piece in my collection which looks like it has etched markings on the base - they jump out compared to the wear marks.

Believe there may be initials / a date / an edition code on the underside. Does anyone know what they might be?

u/TheDbasi — 13 days ago

Base of glass piece looks like it has markings, can anyone transcribe what’s written?

Unsure of origin on this piece, just think it has some markings on the bottom which look deliberately engraved - can’t even tell which orientation thehre supposed to be read in!

Is there anyone who read and transcribe what may be written?

Thank you! :)

Vintage Murano glass vase with a signature on the base. Can anyone assist in identifying What’s concealed within the scratches and wear?

Hi everyone :)

Bit of a long shot, I know! But I recently added a piece of Murano glass to my collection and I’m trying to identify the potential maker, edition/serial number and manufacturing year etc of this piece :)

To clarify, there appears to be multiple (3-4+) Inscriptions on the base of the piece:

  1. The polished pontil appears to have a large diamond-point inscription of a stylised ‘M’, ‘S’, ‘LV’, ‘W’, or ‘CM’ etc.

  2. Initials in image 2 which I believe may be AS or AR.

  3. Edition number/code/date(?) in image 3 e.g. 1/22

  4. Some sort of text / authentication mark. I’m thinking it may say ‘Seguso’ but unsure if I’m reading it in the correct orientation!

Any help would be appreciated! Happy to provide additional images :)

Many thanks!

Vintage round geode bowl in green with copper aventurine just added to my collection - Can anyone help with authentication/identification of a maker?

Hi everyone - just added this beautiful sommerso geode bowl to my collection in emerald green with copper aventurine flakes. I love the depth and ‘double layer’ illusion that the aventurine flakes give.

Approx Measurements:
16cm diameter
5.5cm height
1.57kg weight

Would love to learn more about it - any information on period/maker would be appreciated :)

Edit: some additional information:
The rim is flat with no ridges.
The aventurine appears to be on both the top and bottom sides of the green cased bowl

Many thanks :)

Vintage Venini vase from the 40s-60s just added to my collection - can anyone help in authentication/identifying a model number?

Hi everyone - picked this up to add to my collection,

It’s 5.25inches in height and glossy and smooth all over. quite thin-walled. It has a stamp which says venini but I can’t find any similar models

Murano (?) some sort of beaten and layered glass vase in a deep blue/black colour with a signed base

Unsure how to read the bottom marking, M/W/LV/S? depending on orientation it looks different

Any help in identification of what this is and when it's from and who made it would be greatly appreciated, thank you
