LAVORAZIONE - MADE IN ITALY - ARTE MURANO
What to say about Lavorazione, the label on Granny's vase is c1999 - 2003, and it is cheap or was - in this country anyway - I got these two bits from my dealer as new TK Maxx items for £5.00 each - see link
There is an older label as this is a company that worked in the 50s and 60s in Murano - if you search on eBay you can see an array of older pieces - but not this guys or mine - Lavorazione translates as Work or Workshop
Its authentic Murano made - I have seen it in Milan and Venice and it's not all that cheap! It is actually really well made (ishhh) - it's cased and has some weight to it - it is no longer a TK Maxx deal anymore so who knows what the future holds for it - here is a link to a piece being sold on eBay at moment dealer admitting its brand new
Here is a picture of my two bits - in blue - the bottle is 17" high so they make big
