Hiya.
Is there anything in the label that says Italy? Because the bottom finish is definitely not of Murano quality - it rather looks Chinese to me.

Hi,

There are a few posts discussing these labels on the GBM, including the one below. Quite a confusing subject, however, one possibility is that these were produced outside of Murano......
