Is this a Murano basket?
« on: July 20, 2011, 05:28:05 PM »
Hi all

Today's charity shop haul includes this basket which I think is Murano but have read enough to know that similar glass has been made elsewhere.  Base is nicely finished and showing a little wear.  Can't see a mark or signature anywhere. Intend to sell it and would like to confirm so I don't misattribute.

Thanks

I would be inclined to say modern and somewhere like Romania, but I could be wrong
