Who made this object?

[19West]

Dear everybody,

I recently bought a wonderful Italian glass wall lighting object. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about it. It reminds me of works by Angelo Brotto, but the signature (on a very small glass button) looks like MF or MC to me - so maybe it is Carlo Moretti?
Any info would be much appreciated! Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi 19west I like your wall light ,however not Carlo Moretti you dont say where you purchased the light ,however I have a thought the Mf as I see it, could be Murray Feiss a gallery who would sell this type of light see what you & others think.Cliff

Hi Cliff,

thanks for your thoughts!
I bought it in Belgium. The former owner says he bouight it in Italy, so it should be Italian...

The same logo/initials are on the fazzoletto two threads above this. Amazing that they appear at the same time.Less surprising is the fact that I don't who made either piece. Very nice piece of lighting, though.

Between the holidays and being sick for a week, I havent really been on the forums, but this is very interesting, I can't say that I have ever seen the MF logo embossed anywhere else either.

After searching and searching and searching I finally found the maker of this wall light and the other Vase. The manufacturer is La Murrina from Murano Italy. Company was started in 1968 and hired Quality Craftsman to make there chandeliers..Vases..Lights and figurines. You can find out more by going to there site either in Italy or they have a outlet in The USA
