Unknown label

[Stefan]

Hi All,

I owe a bowl from Murano with an unknown manufacturers label, see the attached image. I screened the web very carefully but could not find any information. The bowl is definetely from the 50ies. There are two vases at ebay with this label, one says Seguso (as usual, but not true), the other says maybe Formia.

Any suggestions?

Thanks and regards,
Stefan

I don't have any idea about the label, but the scrawl on the right side of the triangle reminds me of "Venini." I don't know all the labels that the companies have used over the years, so I wonder if it could be. The label looks fairly new to me. Is Venini still operating? What does the bowl look like?

Stefan, Both Formia and Venini are still in operation, but its definitely not a Venini label. Venini is usually a 3 line acid stamp/signature. As far as Formia, its not their current label, but I don't know about an older version.

Any one else have an idea about the label?

....Ferro & Lazzarini

Adam P from Glass-Times forum found a paperweight with very similar label carring additionally the factories name.
