Title: Murano Large Opal & Gold Pheasant
Post by: Ohio on July 06, 2007, 04:50:44 PM
Hi. I know it's difficult to attribute many of these Murano creations, but I figured I'd ask. This one has a Silver & Black label that simply says "Murano Glass Made in Italy". It's a bit different than most I've seen because of the straightforward Opal & heavy Gold coloration mix & the pedistal which has a polished pontil plus a ground bottom. Size is large at 15" in height & 15" length...if you uncurled the tail it would probably 5". The pedistal features applied flowers that have decent size. Any clues or possibilities are most appreciated. Thanks, Ken
