Unique murano bowl, anyone?
« on: February 21, 2010, 04:29:09 PM »
was wondering if anyone out there might know anything about this dish?
Unique shape, has part of the sticker on it, colors under the light, from out to in are: clear at the tips, an aqua blue, jadeite green translucent cloud white, and then in the center at the bottom is a reddish/orange. Tons of the smallest bubbles I have ever seen in the main cloudy part. haha. Anyway, Thanks!

Hi there.  Can't see the label real good -- but it looks like a round blue foil label.  Is this what it is like?

So it is the same as that blue foil label (link) I posted of mine ??  That is Fratelli Toso label...so just type that name in the search engine here....and you will come up with lots of other posts about glass etc here....

The Toso label has Murano Glass written around the outside and Made in Italy written in the middle. I showed one below. The label on the bowl may be another type, judging from the description Aircooled gave.

okay, here you go, both of them. (*)

(*) Mod: Photo of label from amber/white/pink bowl moved to the thread discussing that piece.
