I did see it, but add commission and having to get it, and I think it might be slightly expensive.  I know it's got 5 rose canes, but its a small one.  Certainly isn't a huge profit in it imo.

Agreed - it looks a bit expensive to me too.  I bid on it, but nowhere near the price it went for!

I tend to leave them alone as I know you will be bidding on it!

Very few bargains on the saleroom these days for paperweights.

Can't complain though.  Brought a Poole vase worth £300+ this week for £95 hammer :)

Murano looks like Fratelli Toso to me (wasn't me that bought them either)
