Well,  I suppose if I have sold it, it doesn't really matter,  but I will have to come over there for lessons in cane recognition.......do you fancy setting up a study day??

Design & Arts is someone I recommend very highly. They carry nice glass at good prices. I wish everyone on eBay had the standards that they do. Someone told me they bought out the inventory of Seguso/Cenedese that was in a warehouse (if I remember right).

They did Anita...along with the catalogues of the SVdA pieces although the do get confused as to the repro's on occaisons due to the colour combo's...they have 'several' people listing at any one time (many nationalities)...but generally they are spot on...one of the best sellers of Murano glass on ebay...

Love the team of D&A...friendly...courteous and good packing of good quality glass...never had a problem...

If not G&P, then maybe Campanella. Their millefiori things look a lot like G&P.

Good detective work, Tami. Doesn't that look like a wonderful duck for the zoo, Rosie? (Sounds like I'm begging again.)
