help with paperweight ID from Ebay pictures

Do you recognize this paperweight or have any idea who the maker was? I see initials in 2 canes and it has a Clichy like profile, but then it also makes me think of Dorfliger.

I am hoping that posting like this can give you better ability to see bigger pictures.
I dont know if posting this way id OK or not, I really struggled uplaoding pics and this took me about 10 minutues...
You have been awesome and PLEASE let me know if I break any rules or put things in wrong places!
I will continue trying to figure out how to upload pictures, but I ve got SOOOOO many to upload im unindated.

Hope I didnt screw up...
Steph

Hi Again

OK found the item under your user name on ebay this is it
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/paperweight-test-auction-/301095484140?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item461ab07aec

I'm sorry to say it's another fairly recent Murano piece, the "initials" are just marks in the canes I'm afraid. And that value is about $280 out.

I do think you'd be better posting your queries directly to the board rather than using ebay this way though.

Kind regards
Nick

Nick,
Thank you for your help! On the positive side I quite like this paperweight!
I'm going to have someone help me figure out how to pictures tonight. I figured it out once
but the second time a picture of my dog kept coming up!
LOL-i guess I found my profile picture....
Thanks again Nick

P.S. you know that Murano I sold? Well the guy lived near us and picked it up. When he
picked it up I wasn't home but he told my husband that
he still questioned whether it was a Murano or not....

Either way, I'm just glad he had a chance to check it out before paying and that he was really happy with it. :)
