Topic: Small Murano Tumblers?

[bat20]

Hi all,i 've put theses tumblers together because that's how they were at the boot fair at 10p each,they have a ring to them ,all with broken pontils and in the range of 8cm in height,i think they may be murano ,but not sure and not a clue on dates,any thoughts ,many thanks.

That's a nice little collection , yes Venetian / Murano around turn of century probably F Toso and Salviati what a bargain .All very good examples of different techniques including Fenicio .

Thanks John,i'll start looking up the techniques, fenicio i've just looked up and it reminds me of feathered slipware in pottery but i don't know if the technique is similar,they do look edible as a group i've got to say and i was late getting there today so a very nice surprise considering you can often blank even getting there on time!
