I have believed these to be Salviati late19th/early 20th century.
To be honest that is only because of other Salviati pieces I've seen using copper aventurine/white filigree.
I have seen Waynes examples in his encyclopedia (lots of help thanks Wayne.
The only difference that I can see is mine is slightly finer reticello, Wayne's example has 34 copper strands to mine at 48 (plate), how sad is that ? I actually counted them. :spls:
What do you think ?

Hi Martin. There's a whole bunch of these matching bowls and plates shown in the book "Venetian Glass - Confections in Glass" p84-85, in lots of different lovely patterns. This particular pattern isn't shown there, but there are plenty with this same shape, so I am pretty confident they are the same make.
Some of the plates, without bowls, are also shown in the book "Italian Glass - Century 20" p139, which dates them to late 19th or early 20th century as you say. Both books attribute these to Salviati. Hopefully :X: they are not both wrong! :)
