🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Today's thrifts. Please help I'd Glass Vase & Snuff Bottle.

[Joecoins]

Did some hunting today, the vase and snuff bottle(?) come from the local thrift store. The vase was 50% of this week . 9$,
I didn't see it last time I was there...
I got the stack of comics at a antique shop. Just wanted to include it in the group of today's finds.
The snuff bottle is beautiful with a wonky shape. Looking for info ? Style? Age? Etc...
The vase I hope is a rare murano. If not this one then hopefully the next.
It has a pontil scar. Air bubbles and you can see the swirl in the glass. Also really cool that the glass is more transparent near the "belly". It's got a unique look with the handles. And the top makes it look like it could be functional and not just for rose buds... Looking for any info about the vase also ,origin, style, etc...

Very pretty. Those are some funky handles on that vase. They look very fragile.

 

[Joecoins]

My guess on your vase is Blenko.

The bottle is just a bottle of some sort... i do not think it was for snuff.... but ?

I got a rly small home so I'm often walking in circles... Another light got switched in my head. I found some better angles to photo the bottle...

Very solid educated guess! Though I don't remember ever seeing any blenko in this design. Though they did use this color in some of their designs. One of their designers Wayne Husted was a trip. And its his work I am most familiar with, so it could be from outside his time. Or possibly made by a worker in their free time as a personal project. On an unrelated note I Got to work with him years ago making some perfume bottle prototypes and some bowls utilizing water jet cut glass for gifts for the United nations. He was a wild interesting fellow and was responsible for saving the failing blenko factory, or at minimum prolonging its death.

Researching the glass vase and I'm thinking.
Vittorio Zecchin and Napoleone Martinuzi ?

With out a signature its almost impossible to say, even if you find a similar line. Also the poorly cold worked bottom bothers me, maybe its a second and didn't pass the test for product?

 

[Joecoins]

Maybe, but I like it more then most I see... Amphora shape? The glass type I'm also seeing something called soffiato that looks similar sometimes. ?
I didn't think they signed the old ones..
The first pictures I took was under a bright CFL light. Here is a photo under a led. I find the color looks quite different sometimes. And I just cleaned the outside with Windex.

Thinking some sort of oil bottle... if actually intended for purpose instead of a tchotchke type of decor.

PS... Looking at your new pictures the vase sorta also has a Murano'ish look.

For the vase I am trying to find a forum or website to send pictures to if anyone has a recommendation.
For the snuff bottle?I am thinking a potion bottle.. or perfume/ scent bottle. It seems to be depicting a bird in Cherry trees.
I was hoping for from the far East, an original that inspired this shape?...
I have found some very similar , Italian peices, that are IMO and on first impression seeming like more modern copies of this style. My small bottle seemed to have Bohemian style. And I thought a Bohemian copy of something far eastern,
? if copying what is originally an Asian style??...
