The imagery seems a little less developed on the Lido label, could this be a bit earlier in date than the others?
The Lido label also shows Nine "rays" to either side of the logo, whereas all the others in the GlassGallery (for Murano and Swedish items) have Eight "rays".

Thanks Flying Free for digging up that extra info, I added some of it to the page, along with a little more that Ken provided.

I asked Ken about the labels, but he doesn't remember any significance about the difference in design. He does remember that the Lido labels were in use, along side the others, while he was there.
