Hi: The label is a Murano label. My recollection is that it was used by a consortium of companies in Murano. Are there any numbers or letters on the label that might be used to identify the specific company? Are there two colours in the bowl, or am I seeing reflections from outside the bowl. My first thought would be Cenedese, but that's very tentative.

Ignoring the top label, this looks like your sticky label here, doesn't it Steve?

Hello David & Max.
                        After looking at the label though a eye magnifer it seems to have very faint n o and David yes you are correct in saying there are two colours center red flowing into a orange amber colour.

Max after close scrutiny the label is a the same one that you found in the glassgallery many thanks both am thinking it maybe from around the 60s circa ?

Sorry Steve, you'll have to get date info from someone else.  To my eyes, your piece looks more 70s than 60s, but it's hard to tell.  Perhaps someone can date the label?

Steve I'm sure we have discussed your label in more detail in the Murano forum. Have a look through this topic to begin with: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,1749.0.html

We can move this topic over to Murano as well for you if you wish?
