Title: Murano Aquarium on eBay
Post by: alexander on April 25, 2009, 10:25:01 AM

Hi, not often we see the aquarium weights with labels so thought I'd mention this one.
This auction  (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/AURELIANO-TOSO-AQUARIUM-SCULPTURE-PAPERWEIGHT-MURANO_W0QQitemZ260399488376QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item260399488376&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A10%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318) shows an aquarium weight labelled Aureliano Toso.
These are usually attributed to Cenedese, who also made aquariums.

Well spotted Alexander , what nice pictures i tried to explain the fused blocks on an earlier thread, some have three or four sections giving them depth like the real thing and the label is the icing on the cake .Har det bra , jeg elske Norge . jp
