Title: Are these weights Murano?

I think these 2 weights are Murano, but would like confirmation, if anyone knows please.

Hi, Margaret.  I believe both weights here are modern Chinese.  The irregular, unpolished base is a give away on modern Chinese weights as well as the colors used in the bases of your weights.  Murano weights have flat, polished bases.  With all that being said, I think your little lizard has personality and the 'rocky' landscape helps out too!

My best ..... Lily :)

Agreed - made in China (but they could still have been purchased in Murano, of course...).
