[Otis Orlando]

Can anyone help identify.  Many thanks

Murano, Ferro & Lazzarini.

"Aries" from the Zodiac range which was, and still is, very popular.
Made mid 1970s to, at least, 1990

Thanks for your info. KevH  I have got another one similar with a man and a bow and arrow in gold.  Sagittarius I think.  Now with the information you have provided me with,  I am assuming this also would be Murano.  Once again, thanks!

[KevinH]

Yes, all with the two rows of large canes aorund one of the twelve Zodiac signs.

The one with a bow and arrow wouldn't be from Nottingham???

Groan!  If we don't have a Moderator of bad jokes, it's time we did!   

On the Nottingham Forest front (no, not the football team)' I don't know of any glass makers there since Firefly Glass closed and Chris Aston went off to Bermuda.

Oh and back to the point, I have an Aquarius example of the Murano weight somewhere in my collection.

If anyone ever finds a Gemini,  I would be interested.
