    I found this large (16.5" x 11") vase yesterday at my regular thrift store - it has the Murano sticker (that says according to Google translate: Glass made according to the technique of the Murano masters), but I've never seen a Murano with a waffle like base?
    Did someone put a Murano sticker on a copy vase?
    If it is real, what type of vase is this style called? I tried 'ribbon vase' but no results?
    Thank you for any help!

    You could try searching for "large handkerchief vase". I think this vase is Italian but produced somewhere other than Murano in the Murano style.

    Murano-style according to the sticker which translates as: "Glass made according to the technique of the masters of Murano."

    The waffle base is caused by the vase being left to cool on an asbestos lattice mat.

    There's a deal of discussion about these "Lavorazione" label vases and variants thereof. Some are made in Empoli, some in China.This will be Empoli.

    Yeppers. Italian, but not Murano.
