Large lamp:cordonato oro? Bullicante?

[elbowsnapper]

I have this huge bolted lamp in two pieces. It is about 22½" tall without the fitting. Any information would be much appreciated. Is it bullicante? Cordonato Oro?? Each of the globules is "edged" in gold. It weighs a ton - about 10½ lbs. It is in perfect condition. but no wiring apart from the fitting. No stickers or marks.

Hi. Welcome to the forums!

Lighting can be difficult to attribute to a specific mfr if not marked, as it has not recieved as much attention as art glass and vases. Its not Cordonato Oro, but I can see it as being a variation of using a bullicante form where the bubbles are created by sharp points, indenting the molten glass, and then cased with clear glass. The bubbles ringed with gold is very effective! I like it! I will try to find out some more about it.

Ive taken a look at a few of my books, and nothing looks familiar, it looks Murano, but I dont think a specific manufacturer or artist can be discovered. Anyone else??

I couldn't find any more info on the lamp either, as far as a specific mfr.
