Carolyn, English spelling is quirky at the best of times though!!! <lol>

That's an understatement. To quote the good Dr. Suess. "The tough coughs as he ploughs the dough"  :thud:

Except I believe Dr Seuss was American,  not English, and look what they did to 'Tomato'!!

[Carolyn Preston]

Okay, granted the Americans only think they speak English, but his quote remains correct. Whether it is tomato or tomahto, it is still the same spelling.

I reiterate what I said in this link http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,32458.0.html

Has anyone seen a labelled one?

It's interesting that the labelled Dal Borgo paperweights all appear to be Chinese!! And as Ivo says the company's location (which is not on Murano) seems to preclude manufacturing, as does the number of employees 2-5!!
