    I got this on flea-bay for a song - pictures on there were fuzzy and didn't even show the whole vase - was simply sold as "art glass". When it arrived today it had a hang tag on it from antique store - states "Murano Glass Vase (Avento)" - it looks beautifully made (to my eye) - I haven't found a signature or mark on it. Thoughts? I'm happy with it wherever it came from - it's beautiful and I got it for close to nothing :)

    I get a modern Chinese vibe,it just doesnt have the refinement of Murano. it is very pretty regardless. personally,I think in the future,a lot of Chinese glass will be appreciated more.

    Not necessarily Dale Tiffany but could be. Definitely China. Saw same in places like T.J. Max, Gordman's, etc.

    There are a 17 in a very close style to this vase on Ebay attributed to "Dale Tiffany Amphora" (not sure how they make the attribution), all with very similar color schemes. Vase with blue colored glass, aventurine coming up from the base, colored applied handles.

    Aaron's vase seems to be fairly nicely put together on average, even if made in China. Here are the Ebay ones:

    Definitely Dale Tiffany. I've had at least two. They're well made and very attractive, but worth about a third of that tag.

    Thanks cluttered and cxgirl, I feel the same about you both and all the other regulars here. I know I'm not much of a conversationalist but I try to at least hit "like" as much as I can to acknowledge a good answer or post.
