Vtg rare murano vase purple silver signed GB or gr 10 inch height 4.5 inch width 3 inch base.
Not sure who owned it before auction.
Dear Dean,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. The presented object appears to be a vase made out of the colored glass with the measurements of 10 inches. The vase is decorated with a frost effect in the form of a cracked surface. The bottom is monogrammed with GB and probably dated with 07 (2007). Sadly no further information of the biography for this artist is mentioned in auction records or similar databases. In Venice and Murano are many workshops and glass artists active.
This piece is in good condition and there are no serious damages visible.
An estimation would be between 150 to 300 USD.
This estimation is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.
With kind regards,
Georg
What is the inscription I and o mean.
Dear Dean,
The I and O are possibly just forms and not meant as a sign or symbol with meaning. Decors, signatures and similar impressions are often meant just and artistic expression.
With kind regards,
Georg
