I am assuming these are Venetian because of the scenes of Venice enamelled on to them. - but in case I'm wrong and that's too obvious an assumption I'll post them in Glass :)
Bought mid year from a UK seller.
Presumably part of a much larger set initially?
I'm guessing 1950's or earlier based on the saucer shaped champagne.? But how much earlier - any way of telling?
The painting of the design on each is very detailed and well executed IMHO. They have an amazing ring to them. Are very fine glass, with a marigold iridescence. The foot on each is decorated with a ring of small enamelled dots around the base.
Pontil mark on each is very smooth and flat and I'd guess fire polished - not ground anyway.
Largest wine is a smidgeon over 14 cm (5.5 inches) tall. smallest just over 10 cm (4 inches) tall
Would love to know more about them - I think they are gorgeous.
TIA & regards

As I got no replies I wonder if a moderator could please move this to the Murano board. Thanks. JAK
