Post by: singingyamada on September 19, 2011, 07:56:20 AM

Hi all
Havent been around.  I got this little guy the other day and I have looked and looked and I think it is Murano. The devil is in the detail of  tail the whale.( poetic)
its 15cm long and 9cm highest. polished flat base. all in one piece, no seams. i wanted to have a real go before I asked and I have checked the board and it is and isn't quite Murano, Thanks in anticipation.  lee
