    Hello everyone! I need help with this Murano vase. It has a partial label and I checked the marks on Fossilfly but I still can't ID the company. It looks like an M over an A. The vase itself stands 9" tall. It's three colors - crystal over amber over orange. Any help would be much appreciated!

    I'm going to burst your bubble. I don't believe this is a Flavio Poli piece.

    Poli was a partner in "Seguso Vetri d'Arte" from 1937 to 1963. He designed a series of Sommerso glass between 1950-1960 that has been heavily copied.

    The label on this is not that of "Seguso Vetri d'Arte"

    No, the label says "Murano"

    If the label was added after the fact. Why put on an unknown label? Wouldn't it make more sense to add a proper Seguso label If the piece is indeed Poli?

    Oh no, my bubble has been burst! I have found a partial second label though. I thought it was a water spot but when I look at it with my jeweler's loop I can make out the letters MA over what I think is UGAU. Can't get a decent photo, darn it.

    Got no idea on maker, but took the liberty of editing the label. I can also make out MA or AM (smaller A) with Murano under it in a red scallop sticker. Looking for a Murano MA didn't have any luck. Did find Mandruzzato copying Flavio Poli designs in similar to vases. Could not find a Mandruzzato label like this one.

    "Mandruzzato pink + dark blue organic [as well as green + amber organic] Murano glass vase, based on a design by Flavio Poli for Seguso Vetri d'Arte"

    Thank you, Susan and everyone for your comments. I think I'll just list it as unknown Murano. I really do appreciate the time that everyone has put into this.
