Camer Glass was an import company based in New York that brought in Murano glass. They also imported at some lighting fixtures by Venini. Different companies made glass for Camer. One Murano company that made a lot of Camer glass was Barbini. I believe that one of the Seguso companies may have also made some Camer glass, though I'm not sure of this.
Yep, a lot of people use the name of importers as manufactures, Otagiri being one of them. As far as I know Otagiri did create some of their own products, but most of them were just imports. There's another video idea right there: importers vs manufacturers.
The large decanter may have been made in a spin mold. You go in from above with a super hot bubble and your assistant closes it and you spin and blow at the same time, thus creating a smooth seamless finish.
Some great pieces. I agree with you that Murano glass pieces have polished bases and if they don't have that it is probably Chinese. My Murano glass pieces are paperweights. I love the latticino glass in them. Also if they are pedestal in form. In terms of larger glass from near Italy I like Maltese glass, especially Mdina Blue Summer vases. I sometimes get lost in the blue which reminds me of the Mediterranean and especially the Blue Grotto of Capri! An unearthly neon blue in the Blue Grotto which Emperor's Tiberius favorite swimming hole.
@@agomodern One of Mdina's lines that is very interesting and a bit different is called by the Brits, Helter Skelter. I have one of this vases and it is kinda wild. The strangest thing is that I am in a Facebook group for Mdina glass and the original designer of the line, Raymond Sultana of Malta communicated with me about the creation of the line being inspired by sea waves. I hope that you can find some. They are very rare in this country!
Hey, even negative comments from negative people benefit my channel, so thank you. Like I said in the video, if I get something wrong, I welcome the criticism, but you have offered zero documented information, so for me it's just speaking out your butt. lol
Lots are made in china and chec republic. 30 years ago few murano " maestri "went to china to teach the techniques . Many venetians were outraged and predicted the end of our ancient art . In ancient times this would have not be possible ,venetian authorities would have killed them as traitors of the republic . Times have changed and we have culture exchange now . Murano is still a beautiful island to visit with hundreds of shops and furnaces filled with beautiful pieces .Alfredo Barbini is a very famous maestro .
I've read that it was very secretive that those that made glass could not leave the island of Murano and could result in death if they were to divulge their glass making secrets.
Ausserdem ist auf jedem Stück von Murano das Original Siegel drauf ich seh nichts,bin auf den Typen grottensauer weil ich Glas liebe, für mich sind die Glasbläser aus Murano Künstler und dann kommt so ein Möchtegern daher,verschwinde bloss wieder in der Versenkung.
Wow, you must have a big house to have so many in your collection. Lovely.
I have them all in totes.
Gorgeous collection. I want to see those next time I’m in!
Wow some beautiful items no matter the maker
Cool! I'm loving all these glass channels I'm finding! Learning a lot, I know nothing. Lol
I have a part 1 as well, so go check that one out. Planning on putting out another video to see if any of them fluoresce, so subscribe and stay tuned.
I like your collection!
Thanks for sharing!❤️

Beautiful collection
That orange piece is really pretty
Beautiful pieces!!!

I'm thinking about doing a follow up video and sharing all of the great information viewers have shared. Thanks for the knowledge.
I love that tall amethyst decanter...
Great information Thanks
Awesome stuff. Tell us about that lamp!
The chrome waterfall lamp? It's part of a pair. :)
My favorites are the apples and pears.

I'll have to look into Maltese glass.

Item 3 is gorgeous...I am everything amethyst
My birth stone.
@agomodern not mine....my favorite color is purple...and purple glass is my passion
Great information
Thank you. I'm still learning as well.
Fenomenal it is! ❤️🔥 (And thanks for not wearing a screaming shirt like in part 1 😉)
Wasn't intentional to wear a quite or a loud shirt. lol
@agomodern It makes sense to be intentional next time to not distract from the beautiful art objects 😉
The green is 70's Chalet Art glass, the orange decanter is likely a 70's piece as well.
I actually have a Chalet piece I didn't show that has it etched on the bottom.
Interesting
An seiner Stelle würde ich mir mal eine Reportage über Glasbläser in Murano ansehen.

@agomodern exactly . Nowdays it's almost impossible to keep a secret .
@@giovannamoro8564 Too funny!
The amethyst piece probably was sanded on the bottom.

What seal? A sticker that can easily fall off?
Blablabla shit.
Thank you for your helpful criticism.
