I am not so sure about this one being Murano. The folds and color are unusual for Murano glass. Any other opinions on this one?

Caution is understandable given that many Murano looking pieces were made elsewhere. However I have seen this kind of hotworked pull to form a cigarette rest many times in pieces which I have no doubts are indeed Murano.
As to the colour, I have owned a number in this reddish orange, which I presume is selenium based and don't see any problem there. These pics look overexposed or perhaps brightened rather too much which perhaps accounts for your reservation there Anita.
Since getting a new TFT screen I find that several of my own pics look overbright on it. I have noticed the same with a friends laptop.

HI Thanks all for your thoughts on all of hubbys ashtrays we really appreciate it.  Just to clarify that all of my photos are taken in natural daylight using the super macro low mp, this we hope shows all the imperfections and flaws and the exact colour of the item or nearest to it.
Thanks again
Margi and Mark
