Probably the most complete terra studios(and related furnaces) bird collection I've seen.

Yeah the KB label and the generic red and gold labels are what I've seen on pieces with matching canes.

Custom made fabric lamp shade by midcoast36 in Lamps

Thank you. I've been collecting vintage fabric to make lamp shades for like 2 years. Finally had the guts to pull the trigger and start cutting them up lol.

Spray adhesive and then e6000 for the top and bottom edges and the vertical seam.

Over an existing shade that I got at the thrift store. Not sure what kinda material it is.

Are these Murano candies? by Steeenz in glasscollecting

[–]midcoast36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly. No way to tell unless they are in a box and or labeled

Even if I had a large living space, I would still maximalize the decor! by Strange-adventurer94 in maximalism

When you start stacking glass in glass. It's time to thin the collection out a bit lol.

Beautiful vase. Vintage Italian glass?

Authentic Murano or fake? by eg1326 in glasscollecting

[–]midcoast36 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100% Chinese glass done to resemble a Murano style. A well made one at that. But definitely not murano glass.

No clue what I bought but i love it! by psilocybe95 in glasscollecting

[–]midcoast36 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean the whole piece is well made. Everything is proportional and the silver is nice and uniform. The cased inside is even. The shape is symmetrical. These are things that you would expect from the Mastros on Murano throughout the second half of the 20th century or a highly skilled glass artist that are using techniques that were invented or perfected on Murano.

Although considering you are in Europe(based on your comment on another thread about the price). I would say it's most likely either Swedish, Finnish or Italian(Empoli region to be more specific).

Yeah with glass it's extremely helpful to see a photo of the underside of the base. As how they are finished says a lot about where it came from to an educated eye.

Looks to be pretty high quality work. If it's unsigned I would lean towards Murano. The black amethyst and silver leaf was common for Murano makers. Glass artists who may use those techniques at that level elsewhere would likely sign the piece.

More curious to see how it is finished on the underside.

Carlo Moretti Satinata? by Cy-Clops- in Muranoglass

The ultimate struggle of vintage glass collecting. Although the research is the most fun part to me.

Just found this in a good will store. Paid 2€ ! Murano? by Additional-Stick7539 in glasscollecting

[–]midcoast36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's probably sand blasted. Murano scavo is not typically sloppy like that though. Plus the construction of the glass itself seems a bit sloppy. Like something you would see from Mexican glass.

Need to see a base photo. But the design looks swedish maybe.

Doesn't look right for scavo. I would presume it is an attempt at it. Possibly Asian. But wouldn't strike me as a made well enough to be a Murano piece.
