Title: Four section / four coloured bowl
Post by: Helen on October 12, 2011, 11:20:16 AM: Hello all

I recently bought one of these four sectioned bowls and I'm just wanting a little bit of help with it. It was described as Murano, as are a lot of the three sectioned similar bowls that often turn up on ebay etc. I'm convinced however that I read somewhere that either the four section or the three sectioned dishes aren't Murano (or maybe neither of them are). Is anybody able to clarify this for me or point me in the direction of previous discussions on this (I've tried searching but haven't yet come up with anything)?

Here's a picture of my bowl, diameter is 5 3/4 inches, height is 2 inches.

Thanks for any help.

Best wishes

Helen

Some useful info in that thread about this kind of item :)

And a better pic attached...
