Any ideas guys? we have 4 hours to help!!

Mandruzzato i think... http://www.20thcenturyglass.com/glass_encyclopedia/murano_glass/mandruzzato_glass/mandruzzato_home.htm


There may be other manufacturers that i don't know of (i've just noticed the rim looks thinner on yours).

These are nice items and generally sell well.  Probably too late to help, but condition is crucial.  Any chips/dings/bruises reduce the value considerably or even totally.
