Is this Murano? the base is welled
« on: November 12, 2008, 06:45:45 PM »
Hi All, just wondering if this could be Murano, the base is not flat though it is welled. This is 2.5 inches high and 3.5 inches wide, quite weighty at 576 grams. thanks, Sue

Although I know other glass is bevelled like this on the top rim, I wonder if there's much wear to the base?  It looks like it could be something like LSA glass from Poland which is nice quality glass and generally very well finished.   :huh:

It looks like the very outer edges of the top rim are bevelled, or ground to an angle though?  It's generally a sign of better quality.  :)

Crikey Max, your eyesight must be good, there is a slight bevel on the inner and outer rim, i only noticed it when i looked through a magnifying glass and that was with my glasses on. Sue

It might very well be LSA, I had something very similar but I can't remember what the bottom was like

It's a marketing company, but it seems to have its own design team http://www.lsa-international.com/

I agree with those who've already said it's Polish - probably LSA - I had one identical (now sold) that was stickered.
