I have seen a few pieces, similar to this, named as Murano. Is this the case? If not can anyone ID it for me - PLEASE!

A lot of them are made by Jozefina in Poland http://www.jozefina.pl/english.html

Some were made sold by Heron Glass in Cumbria

Thank you both for your replies - yes, I thought that was the case - I have seen them advertised as Murano, but thought there is too many of them around.

Thanks for your help - Pauline
