Parade rainer here. Chris, the low ears on your horse make me think it's Chinese. Most of the Chinese horse heads I've seen coming out of China have low ears that look almost like they are growing out of the jaw. The tail of your horse seems a bit more sleek than what I'm used to in Murano horses. I don't know for sure, so take my thoughts on your horse with a grain of skepticism. I saw a similar horse (without a label) that was attributed to V. Nason, so it is a possibility.

The shape is very similar to this one with a Murano label....even though yours is less flamboyant.......I would have said Murano.  I like it. :)

I'd still be very hesitant about saying Murano.  I'm very suspicious of the label on the one on eBay. It looks very like the labels I see on glass in discount stores here that comes from China.  I'm with Anita.

Hi David, what is your opinion on the one with the red foil label one in the link I have provided to the previous post? which  belongs to 'tother Anne, I too have the up most respect for the opinion of Anita :kissy:
To be fair I added the link to the previous post because in my opinion it's pretty similar in shape style and colours and it does have a label on so probably deserves further discussion?
What I know about Murano glass would probably fit on the label  :-[ anyway.

The one on ebay looks distinctly dodgy. The label looks to have been pulled off and restuck, and aventurine with gold, what's that?
