The moderators will shift it to the Murano forum once it is identified without being asked, and I asked for Murano to be added to the title. Don't worry, Neil!
Like Christine, I think this is a very classic Murano shape, and it's a
very nice thing.
At Murano they had the technique for adding silver foil to the outside of glass without burning it, long before Michael Harris invented a special marver, which he did not patent, for adding the very delicate silver and gold foil to the outside, and he and William walker spent some time learning how to add silver foil without it burning and reacting with the glass.
The marver had tiny holes drilled into it, and air was passed underneath that to create a very, very light vacuum which held the foil down flat so it could be picked up, without it flapping around and sticking back to itself everywhere.
