What is the best Murano piece from your collection!?!?
glasswizard:
Boy this was tough. How do you pick a favorite? I have so many and decided to put them in categories. I am going to start off with my favorite murano birds. http://tinypic.com/53oegg I love the color and also the proud carriage they display.
This has to be my favorite color combination http://tinypic.com/53oe51 this is by Alfredo Barbini. The lable reads "Venetian made by Alfredo Barbini for Weil Ceramics and Glass Murano Italy. A large piece it measures about 11 X 12 inches.
Now this is my favorite Murano Basket http://tinypic.com/53oec4 again the color is fabulous and the controlled bubbles, all lined with gold, it just looks so rich.
A Murano Collection to me should have at least one Fratelli Toso water splash. http://tinypic.com/53oevo I actually have two, but this one really stands out.
As with any collection I think, there is always one piece that you are not sure of. Is it Murano or not? http://tinypic.com/53of2u I love the shape of this and the color and as I said, I am not sure if it is murano, but still a favorite.

Hi Terry!
I am sure we can expand the topic to have a favorite of each artist, or a favorite example of animals, baskets, vases, etc. I know it is hard to decide on 1 piece that is a "favorite."
Thanks for the pics! Great pieces. I am a Barbini collector so I too love the pieces you posted by him. Maybe you didnt know, but the Blue Basket is also Barbini. I have 3 of them :D Orange, White and Blue.
On the Pink Compote or Tazza, I am not sure if it is Murano.
The foot and stem look mold made, and I really havent seen one before, so maybe someone can help you with it on the Main board.
Oh, the ducks are great too :)

I have to add my wow to Cathy G and to Ray. Now I have something to look for since I do not have a decanter. My hat is off to Svazzo, I admit to using your site to help identify my pieces. Recently I purchased a bowl that could have been AVEM but with your site I discovered it was actually a Dino Martens. Hopefully more will share pictures and we could even have a category called "What were they thinking?" This could cover a multitude of areas including most bizarre, strange colors, and even weight. I have one bowl I purchased with three birds as a set. The bowl weighs in at 9.5 pounds. To me that is a serious pc. of glass. Looking forward to more pics and fun, Terry
