New To Glass Message Board !
« on: August 29, 2006, 01:04:50 AM »
Hi,
Stumbled across the glass message board and cant believe I never found it before. Just wanted to say hi and hope that I can add something interesting in the future.
Ive been collecting glass for about the past 10 years, going it alone, without much expertise or help. I hope that I can find out some information about some of my glass and maybe something I have could help someone else.
Im in Australia and have mostly bought from garage sales and op shops and Im hoping Ive bought genuine Murano at times. I only have a couple with labels or any markings and I will add to the label thread when Ive finished reading it..(only on page 3).
Enjoying looking at everyone's lovely glass and cant wait to see if someone can help me identify mine when I take some pictures.

Thanks Javier !

I hope that label can help someone else. Im looking forward to finding out about my glass. Proper terms and names of glass artists if any. Ive really collected whatever took my fancy but Ive seen a couple on here similar to what I have. So Im already learning. There were quite a lot of Italian immigrants over here, and still are, and there was a lot of art glass bought with them I think.  I will add my other labels, but they are pretty ordinary.
