If it's this one you mean http://yobunny.org.uk/gallery1/displayimage.php?pos=-108 then it needs its description updating, as it's Chinese not Murano. It came back from an Italian holiday with my late great-uncle and the tale that it was Murano, but evidence from folks on the board proved otherwise. I'd forgotten it needs updating so shall do that soon. I have heaps more glass which aren't on the gallery yet though Rob... just need more time to do it all. :)

Edited to add: Desription updated now. :) Have you see the GM article on those vases here: http://www.theglassmuseum.com/Chinese.html

Mine does that too Rob! (That's how I spotted it, glowing happily in a dark corner of GB Antiques in Lancaster some years ago.  :mrgreen:)
