I would be HIGHLY surprised if this is Murano. The chances of it bekng Chinese or Polish are much higher.

I was aslo reluctant to reply - it looks very new and Chinese - but the base finish is not what I would expect.
And it doesn't look well enough made for Polish.
Certainly, not Murano. And I would think very recent.

Decorative - and don't worry about using it. :)
