Topic: Murano 101: Murano Labels!!!

[Della]

I thought I would post this dish with label, which I found today.

Hopefully of use to someone one day. I would never have tabbed this one as being Murano, had it not had a label.

Hi I've just posted a picture of this in relation to another thread on the 1950's Brussels Fair vase - it's on my green Flavio Poli ... I'll post it here also if it helps

Peter/Anne can one of you repost the gold scroll label on the first page of this thread. It's gone walkies. Chris - a new member - has a silver scroll. I'll ask him to post it here.

I don't have a copy of that one so couldn't add it to the album... Peter...

Perhaps this label was posted previously on one of the links that disappeared.  I found it on a 12" bowl with a silver and gold interior design that is about as sad an example of the glass makers art as I have seen in many a moon.  The glass if fine, if pedestrian.  The painting, shows a decided lack of talent and taste.

Picked up this vase today with a nice sticker. Thought I'd add it to the thread. What I really found interesting about this vase is that is also has a S.S. Kresge sticker on the bottom. S.S. Kresge was a discount store here in the U.S. that later turned into K-Mart stores we have today. I know this vase must be vintage since S.S. Kresge is long gone! Vase stands 7 1/2" high. Sticker reads "GENUINE VENETIAN GLASS MADE IN MURANO ITALY" Cenedese?

I thought you might like to see this dichroic glass bud vase with a Murano sticker.  It is approximately 11" (275mm) tall. A pink/lilac colour which turns blue under fluorescent light.  The label is a pale gold colour and sadly quite worn.
