Topic: Murano (?) heavy organic bowl, with rings-and-bubbles decoration

Michael,

The bubbles in my Cenedese piece are made using the same technique as the bubbles in your piece. However, I think your piece is a little more complex than mine.  It reminds me of the Stejskal pieces for Skrdlovice, but not with one colours.

I don't see the scratches on the base ruling out Murano as I've got pieces that I'm fairly sure are Murano  with similar wear. Ordinarily, I would follow Ivo, but, with a little moral support from the good Dr. Fischer, I'll go with Murano.

Thanks David!

Good to know that Murano is an option

I assume that the piece could have been used as an ashtray, which would explain the heavily worn base (I have seen similar wear merely on ashtrays so far).
