Hi Peter,
The numbers refer to the style of the item, and sometimes to the item # in production, that is why sometimes they also have letters, and multiple numbers in 1 label. Without a catalogue to refer back to it is hard to say.

More labels:

The first is a uranium green vase 8½" (21.5cm) tall. Strictly speaking I don't think this is Murano, but 'Venetian'. The label (badly ripped) merely states 'Venetian Art [Glass?]' and is situated on the neck. It also has one of the small circular 'Made in Italy' labels on the base. The central portion of this label has a tiny logo that looks like a 'G' with an 'H' in the centre, so either 'G.H' or 'H.G' is the maker?

The second is a clear plastic label, with gold lettering. On the left side is written vertically 'Murano', with 'Vetreria Artistica' and 'OBALL' to the right. Any clues to the maker?
:
The label is shown twice, as the backlit version shows the lettering clearer.
[edited to correct spelling on label: "Vetreria" with the last 'a' - label not terribly good!]

Hi David,
Thanks for the posting. I think the label on the Green Vase is the same as the one CathyG posted (from the Orange and Yellow Sommerso Decanter) on the 1st page, at least looks very similar, so your piece might be Cenedese too... and I have to say that is the cutest OWL I have ever seen, :D

Javier,
Thanks for the info - I didn't have time to scrutinise the earlier postings so am pleased to learn it's a "known" maker. I actually only paid about £5 for it (~ $10) although it does have a small chip on the rim. Good news is I managed to find another on eBay.
As for the owl, I also have his big brother, who was made by V.Nason:

A massive, heavy beastie at 7½" (19cm) with pulegoso effect to create the excellent feathered effect. I have several other examples of V.Nason that I can post.

Hi,
As mentioned in the 'Fazzoletto' thread, here is the label. Please click thumbnail to enlarge.
Around the edge it mentions; 'SAN MARCO : MURANO : Made in Italy. Does anyone know the maker?
