<p>[QUOTE="Iconodule, post: 10287744, member: 91417"]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.</p><p><br /></p><p>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.? </p><p><br /></p><p>(I know this is not an antique, but probably vintage, so I hoped someone would know--or point me in the right direction.
