New To Collecting
« on: February 19, 2015, 10:38:52 PM »
I just started collecting Murano glass after purchasing a couple of starter pieces at a local auction.  I have been looking for a couple of days and can't find anything to verify if they are truly originals and who the maker and approximate dates may be.  Pictures attached and any information is much appreciated.

Welcome to the board. Nice pictures too. Dimensions are good too please. This vase doesn't strike me as being made in Murano but I don't know when or where.

After more investigation based on a response for another of my pieces I looked at vintage AVEM from the 50s and 60s.  I see some pieces that look to be the similar red/orange color with a ribbed pattern.  It is completely possible I was mislead however I don't think it was intentional and I didn't spend much $24, so I'm still happy and having fun continuing my investigation.
