Featured Murano? glass vase question

Hi, I found this very heavy art glass vase on one of my trips and thought it was amazing. I am curious to know if it might be murano glass? There are no markings or stickers. There are however, a lot of bubble inclusions inside the piece. Would murano have so many bubbles? Thank you for looking.

 

Murano glass, like any hand blown, can have bubbles.

Can you get photos against a plain background please?

 

Very nice. What a great find.

 

nice colored glass....
are u in Albania ?
is the glass 18 inches tall and 75 inches wide..?
was it found on your trip to Cottonwood county ?
how many men does it take to pick it up?

we need more to go on if there's any chance of helping you ....
so........ help us ...to help you !!!

 

Sure, here are some clearer? images. I picked it up at a thrift shop in Carlsbad, California; it’s measurements are 9”x5”; a 4” big mouth; and a 3” base. Men are not required, but most, I’m sure, can heft this 8lb 9.3oz vase.

thank you!

 

Photos updated. Thank you. Curious to know, do murano vases weigh a certain amount? Like a taller vase might weigh 22lbs etc.oz? Is there a formula you follow on determining weight of a murano glass piece?

 

Hence “blown glass” I suppose; but, I’ve seen murano glass before, and I didn’t notice quite as many air bubbles or inclusions as this piece.

 

The technique is “sommerso”, one color submersed in another. Lots coming out of China lately.

 

The dead flat bottom I think could indicate China. Especially because of the lack of wear.

 

So, Chinese and definitely not murano. Ok. Thank you very much for looking.

 

Plenty of Murano pieces have flat bottoms, but I'd probably guess China on this as well. There's a brand called 5th Ave. that makes a lot of sommerso style stuff in China.

 

China produces a lot of art glass, often referential. Some of it is very nice. This would look very nice in a window.

 

Murano and other good glass often has smooth fire polished bases.

I do think this looks Fifth Avenue. The sommerso layers aren't quite crisp enough.

 

Thank you for your response, what is it that indicates China on a piece like this?

 

Thank you, that is a definitive response on what it is we’re looking at which helps narrow down the possibilities. I appreciate your assistance.
