Any ideas on ID - Murano?
« on: July 02, 2015, 07:19:33 PM »
I have another weight that is perplexing me!
I think it is Murano but the canes are really complex and look at league above murano.
The base is flat polished with light wear so bot really old.
Any comment really appreciated.

Hi Bry.  Those are Murano canes, and I have seen that style from Murano.  I am sure it is a Murano piece, maybe from the 1930 - 1950 period.

Once again Alan many thanks. I have collected quite a collection of weights over the last 30 years and am now attempting to identify the more obscure ones!
I have a good selection of books etc, but alas they don't always come up trumps.
Cheers Alan,
Bry
