Hello Mike,

It looks quite Italian to me too, but Italian glass is not my field.

You'll find Italian glass experts in the Murano forum.

Fascinating!

Pinkspoons, Have you seen any of Leni's Audreys?
I've copied her tinypic link - it was still working just now!

In a nightmare-inspiring way, I suppose it is!

My 'Audreys' all live in my bedroom - and they never disturb my sleep at all!

(It's just cats that do that! :roll: )

I don't see Shooter's bowl as an 'Audrey' at all. It's definitely squid - or starfish, more likely! :shock: I would really expect to see it to flopping wetly! :shock:

But I do like it

I would guess Murano - Seguso? :? Or Barbini? :? Perhaps Shooter should post a pic on the Murano board?

Has the look of a 1960's piece by Fratelli Toso, hopefully Javier will pick up this one and be able to confirm.
