Featured Gabriel Urban (?) Murano Perfume Bottle

I know. I know. I am pathetic. Another perfume bottle. Actually, I picked this up a while ago and just chalked in up to another modern bottle until I saw the work of Gabriel Urban Murano. I found three like mine. One is signed. One only has a sticker. Mine is unsigned. It is 4 3/4 inches high and almost two inches in diameter.

Here are the other bottles:

My bottle:

 

Wait for @Ownedbybear because she is much better at these art glass bottles but the one thing I noticed is the difference in the stoppers.

Also while yours is still attractive it doesn't appear to have the same crisp lines as the other two bottles.

 

Sounds good. I just ran across the Gabriel Urban bottle yesterday, while searching for something else. He did a lot of bottles, but with different effects.

 

Hm. I don't think this is Urban. The stopper, as @bercrystal says is too clunky and the aventurine is too flat, for want of a better word. And it's not as freeform curled, plus the dauber is thick. The bottle itself not refined enough.

Which doesn't mean to denigrate it, it's a pretty wee thing. I just don't see a good Murano maker.

 

Thank you so much for your detailed analysis. It helps me learn what to look for. I see you and beryl’s point which I didn’t see immediately. I appreciate your trained eye. I won’t put it in the case of with the better things. I can live among the lesser pieces is all.
