Are these murano bubbles
« on: November 03, 2011, 12:13:47 PM »
Bought this lovely blue vase for a friend's housewarming present.  The vendor said it was Murano.....are those bubbles Italian or is it a TKMAXX?
The vase is over 30cm tall and has a completely flat ground base.

Thanks for any information that you guys can give. :help:

Nice vase but probably Polski Murano or Chinese Murano I think. It is too simple in form and too understated to be Italian, and too heavy.

I am not too surprised by what you say because she tried to tell me that another vase was also murano in spite of it still having the original Mtarfa sticker stuck to the side of it!

Thanks for the info
