Title: Murano? ID help

Any info like always would be much appreciated.

The pattern and crimped attachments look very Chinese to me.

Thanks TxSilver for the quick reply, okay and it does feel like the same quality as the twisted orange one I have so that's why I stuck in the murano section...opps :pb:

In truth most "Murano" baskets aren't Murano. I don't even know if there is such a thing. Many of them are Czech and early to mid 20th century. I would agree with Anita on this one though

Okay, I surrender and all you have to do is mention Chinese  ::) and I all of sudden go pale...
At least my all sorts album collection will be bright...

Thanks again
