Thanks everyone so far. Hugely appreciated.

Ultimately, I am trying to determine its value, to then make a decision about what to do with it. Hence hoping to find out if anyone knows when it is from, or what "collection" it is part of, how rare it is, etc. Had hoped it would be a simple task, but can't find any details about it anywhere online. beyond that label on the box.

Any other ideas or suggestions on this warmly welcome.

Thanks again!

Murano & Italy Glass / Re: Murano duck - but who actually made it?
« Last post by Ekimp on April 22, 2025, 06:44:52 PM »
Out of interest, this pair of ducks also have a Formia Label and look to me more like Lambden’s example than the op’s or the Formia labeled example in glassobsessed’s link. They have crimped feathers: https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/48019817_pair-formia-vetri-di-murano-art-glass-ducks

The op’s looks better quality to me than the one in glassobsessed’s link?

I like this one, also with a Formia label: https://www.liveauctioneers.com/en-gb/item/56344123_vintage-murano-art-glass-duck

Gorgeous :)

 And someone bought that vase in the sale link and bought a complete bargain.  His engraving is stunning and I'm very envious of that sale/the buyer :)

I think you have it there m, that super fine silvery crackle they use is distinctive, very much matches the pieces I had although I have not found the exact shapes yet.

British & Irish Glass / Karlin Rushbrooke goblet for show
« Last post by glassobsessed on April 22, 2025, 10:45:53 AM »
Bought this yesterday (ta very much Chris) and really pleased with it, a fabulous addition to my goblet collection. Signed Karlin Rishbrooke and dated 11/80, nearly 24cm tall. Looks like it matches the jug in this old auction lot apart from the colour:

Glass / Victorian vase with engraved 'signature'
« Last post by glassobsessed on April 22, 2025, 10:39:30 AM »
Assuming this small vase is Victorian in date, not quite a signature maybe more a series of numbers. It is 12.5cm tall, wide polished pontil mark, very tactile, super quality and surprisingly to me not a hint of uranium when tested.

Interesting because we see so little engraved from the era, the first line appears straightforward enough 3285 but the second could read as 904 or GOLL, third line is 0/-

Drawn a blank so far, anyone seen similar?

Yes, see what you mean re Chris Commins not seen that, just not his typical use of colour. Can you point to a bit of Shaks Fireworks? This does not have the heft I tend to associate with Will Shakspeare's work though.
