No-one likes general adverts, and ours hadn't been updated for ages, so we're having a clear-out and a change round to make the new ones useful to you. These new adverts bring in a small amount to help pay for the board and keep it free for you to use, so please do use them whenever you can, Let our links help you find great books on glass or a new piece for your collection. Thank you for supporting the Board.

I believe he mostly provided designs and had nothing to do with production nor signing.

Having transgoogled some of the text, the original glassworkers were brought from Italy in 1957, hence the link

Another one of the forgeries is being sold on eBay out of the Netherlands. The number is 130139968637 (I think it is okay to post the number because it is not a ligitimate Murano).

Unfortunately, I noticed that the buyer in the original link of this thread left positive feedback about the forged vase. The seller was notified it was a forgery, so maybe they worked out a reduced price. I never heard back from him after he said he was going to contact the Bianconis.
