These may be a retailer or decorator etc. of a variety of glass ware and figures.

"Silvestri, Opere in Vetro eCristallo, Arte Murano, Made in Italy" probably active 50s to 70s, anyone know more?

there is also a Taiwanese company that could be related or completely separate.

I suspect the Italian one is now known as:

La Vitrerie S.a.s. di F. Silvestri
Via Melitiello, 57
80025 Casandrino
Italy
TEL : +390817102726
FAX : +390817115213

 www.lavitrerie.com (Warning tedious Flash that goes nowhere)

will post on Glass re Taiwan.

I understand the confusion. I have seen the Silvestri label on a lot of tableware and vases, but haven't paid much attention to the glass before now. After looking at a few things, I'm not sure if Silvestri only markets or if it makes the glass. One bowl that is marked Silvestri in an eBay store often has a Crystal Clear label on it. One Google result that I got put Silvestri as a market in the USA. It is difficult to find something definite about them.

There is a Silvestri in Chicago that imports from Taiwan, so the web gets more complicated. I suspect the US company is the main one as the variety of things with various types of Silvestri labels seems to be infinite - so probably just a gift trade company.
