I know i've posted similar labels to these before, but I have a more specific question and thought everyone would benefit from it. I will do a new topic for it, so we can discuss it at length and not crowd the labels thread too much.

Javier, can these be added to the Murano 101 gallery as well please?

[svazzo]

Hi Anne,
There is already a sample of these on there, actually 2, on the 1st page and the 2nd page, which is mine also. There are other duplicates on there...
On the first page of the label gallery theres the same "Christallo Vetreria Campanella" label 3 times.

The Geo Hardy Venetian Art Glass label on the first page is good, but theres also the same label on page 2 "Geo Hardy Venetian Art Glass" that you cant read.

"Lavarazione Arte Murano" on the 3rd page is there 2 times.

"Seguso Dalla Venezia Murano" & "SDV Murano" are the same label.

Irice "Made in Italy," on perfume bottle, maybe L. Gaspari for Salviati.

We cant really attach a new topic onto an ongoing thread, so copy and paste is the best I could do.
I think the problem is that you are putting in a "Tittle" for your post, when you just need to reply and leave that section empty. I think that is why its making your replies into new topics.

I posted the Irice on the "yobunny" labels compendium, but somehow didn't get the title "Irice" under the label to help viewers know what they're looking at.  Could someone go into it and add the name?  If only I have authority to do so, could someone give me detailed step by step instructions?
Thanks,
Charles.

Hi Charles,
I cant change that, but maybe Anne can.
I think since you posted the label, you should be able to go back in and change/add the name to it? Im not so sure. Anne is in charge of the gallery.... Actually I just checked, and on the top of the Glass Gellery pages, on the right, there's a link in Bold Blue, that should help you. It says -

I've tried everything, and cannot edit the Irice label Gallery Picture.  I suspect the problem lies in the fact that I originally uploaded it without first logging in (in fact, without first registering with GlassGallery -- as opposed to GMB -- if that's possible [???]).

If the moderator could remove it, I will re-post and try to make sure the title gets in.  I think titles are helpful for the picture gallery.

Charles.

Here's one on a small spatter glass vase I picked up last week. Probably modern?.

Thanks Bryn, I've linked it via album keyword to the Murano101 album.

Here are some more Venini labels which you can upload to the Gallery if you want.

If you want to try a chronological order I would suggest to do it that way:

Early fifties on a piece of ca. 1952:

Mid fifties to early sixties:

The Venini paper label that is already in your database.

Late sixties to seventies:

The Venini plastic label that is already in your database.

On a piece from 1998:

On a Versace piece from 2002:

PS: Acid stamps are a different thing, they can even show up in the company of lables, the three line is ca. 1950-65 if authentic

Very interesting and thanks for bringing these up. Please do upload to GlassGallery as this is the support picture archive for everyone to browse.

I've converted the latter images to links in the meantime.

Two more labels added to the gallery:

First just another red Murano label, but a very crisp and clean one, so I added it anyway.

I'm sure I've seen these daisy weights somewhere - I thought Nason at first, I had some signed daisy weights earlier this year, but they are not quite the same.  Could be good if we can tie the paperweight down, then we could maybe get a factory for these red labels.  But it may just be generic anyway.

Second a Tagliapietra label on a nice transfer paperweight

Brilliant! Thanks for sharing those Lynne.

Here's a link to a website I just found that is very helpful for Murano as well as other types of glass.  It's probably been posted before, but just in case. . .
