Title: Cobalt Blue horse???
Post by: BRADBURY7308 on September 17, 2009, 09:28:37 PM

Purchased this little 5" tall horse today for 20p was wondering if it might be a murano type piece its a nice weight and very dark blue especially in the main body, Would anyone be able to tell if it's a genuine murano. :hiclp:

It looks like it may be Murano, but it is difficult to say for sure. The main and mouth remind me of some of the Murano pieces.

The Russian horses we see in the USA usually have manes pulled out in separate peaks. The mane of the blue horse was made with a crimping tool. So I would say probably not Russian, at least not the horses we commonly see here.
