Help identifying modern, cased glass, tangerine vase

Can you help me identify a modern vase left by my parents? It is cased glass & looks mid-century modern to me, but I assume MCM style can be repeated in later glass. The inside is a translucent white that can look opaque when photographing. The bottom has concentric circles around a central small circle. Is that the pontil mark? 6.75 inches H, 4.75 inches W.

No surviving labels, & I see no signature/maker's mark. I found several similar pieces on ebay (different proportions), but I have doubts about the seller's descriptions. One evokes Swedish/Danish influence & Carlo Moretti (Murano/Italy) in the same sentence, & the other calls it amberina (which it clearly is not). Prices vary widely too. How can I learn the artist or manufacturer, national or regional origin, date, value, etc.?

(I know this is not an antique, but probably vintage, so I hoped someone would know--or point me in the right direction.
I will get to "the old stuff" eventually. My father had a cut glass collection--beautiful, but I am ignorant. Because of maker's marks I have been able to ID much--but not all--of my mother's china collection myself.)

 

A pontil or punt mark is from breaking off the punt stick during a hand blowing process. It usually looks like a broken roundish spot unless it has been ground off, which usually leaves a lil matte spot or a bump/divot. If it's perfect circle lines then that would be from a mold.

E bay descriptions were always untrustworthy from everyone copying and using someone else's keywords, but now they are a complete and utter wasteland because of the new AI description writing "feature". With the click of a button you too can have an actual garbage dump word salad to impress and baffle your buyers!

If a description seems nonsensical it's because it's the AI and no one bothered editing it. I see it on like 1/3 to 1/2 of the auctions I look at daily, and the rest have hit the "Sell One Like This" button and copy pasted their terms in the space.

years....literally years of experience required...

and that's what we bring to the table !!

 

Thank you. You helped me avoid a mistake.

 

I had a 'cased' vase that still had the Made in China sticker on it. Never rule out China!

 

Nice piece,I think you double or triple-loaded your pics.
PS-Done it myself.

 

That looks Empoli made.

 

I thought I was so careful... How do I remove the extras?

 

Excellent. I will start looking for "Empoli glass."

Incidentally, the first Empoli glass web site I encountered has a large large bottle with stopper which looks a lot like one I inherited (but a different color). I do believe in research serendipity.

 

But how do you verify that?

 

I bet yours is a genie bottle.

 

I thought the sellers were either ignorant/mistaken or (occasionally) lying to enhance the value of the piece. I try to assume the former. I undoubtedly will make/have made mistakes too--but not deliberately. But using AI is horrifying--sheer laziness & not caring about accuracy. That certainly explains a number of descriptions with no/little content.

 

just leave them....no worries !!

 

Yes, a blue one. There were two but one was broken. I had no idea what it was.

 

Everybody here knows I pretty much hate all gen ai (automated AI is different and useful), but if a seller is going to use the AI description button they should REALLY edit it because you leave yourself open to buyers disputing everything that's wrong.

However, I think the editing process would take longer than just stringing a couple sentences together yourself from scratch. Makes you sound like a lovely seller I'd want to interact with too.

 

Just selling my parents' belongings from their estate (and deciding what to keep). The money goes to my son. I have learned a lot, especially about my mother's china, but am definitely an amateur.

 

I am not sure - sometimes 'new' glass will have a greasy feel which I usually equate to China. I don't think Tango/Czech/bohemian would have a cased white interior. Mold made so likely mass produced. It would be fun to have a bunch of different colors.

 

You do get some older cased bohemian glass. And mould blown too.

 

I just didn't see any wear on the base in photo. I assumed it was contemporary.

 

Empoli is tough stuff, I’ve had a fair few seventies bits which looked totally clean on the base.
