Title: Murano Piece with Label Any Ideas of Maker Please?
Post by: suzi99 on December 15, 2005, 10:10:08 AM

Hi I picked up this piece on the weekend.  It has it's original sticker which is a silver foil triangle with Murano Glass Italy written on it.  I was wondering if anyone would have any ideas of the maker?  Also what would I call this shape?  Is it a vase or bud vase?  Any help is appreciated thank you.

It looks fairly recent.
A close-up of the label would be interesting - I don't think I've seen that one before.
You could almost call it a sculpture.

Well that's a great word for it that's what I'll call it.  I will take a better pic of the label I took that one at night & doesn't work well with flash so I'll get a better pic & post it shortly. :wink:

Here's a better picture of the label I've actually turned the piece upside down to photograph it.
