Title: Pretty sure these are Murano and likely 60's ?
Post by: Tina on August 11, 2009, 02:03:03 PM

I've seen similar listed on ebay as Murano Geode bowls?  Confirmation or any information would be appreciated.
Thanks for looking
Tina

Forgot to mention, the one front right has bubbles. It may not belong, the bubbles are so close to the surface at the top that a whole row of them have sadly burst along the edge.

They do appear to be Murano, but they are not geode bowls. They are normal ashtrays. Geode bowls look like a round rock that has been cut. The top is usually ground totally flat, then polished. I have seen bowls that are like yours with the colored rim attributed to 2 or 3 companies, but I do not know if anyone knows for sure. I do think we can safely say Murano. Hope this helps some.
