Title: Two Labels - Murano, but Who ?? ID = Fratelli Toso, "Castle" label
Post by: antiquerose123 on December 18, 2013, 07:46:41 PM

Hi there:

Merry Christmas to all, and I bought this little treasure for myself here.  It has the CASTLE LABEL on it and also a ROUND RED FOIL LABEL  ( I did not see either in 101 Murano label in the Glass Gallery).

Triangular Shape with trails of  Purplish squiggles in it and Aventurine.  Very Pretty!!

It is about 7.5 inches by 7.5 inches by 6 inches.  About 1.75 inches deep. 

I think it is maybe 1960's by the labels but that is a guess.   Any other info greatly appreciated!!

Having received No replies here, I did get this answer on another forum by Anita (TxSilver) as to info on this item.  So I now do have a ID on it:

Hi, antiquerose! I haven't seen your name in quite a while. The Castle label is one used by Fratelli Toso. I've had some of their graffito things, so I guessed it was them before I saw the Castle label. The label clenches the ID. Nice bowl.

Thank you for letting us know Rose :)

Those trails do remind me of a paperweight I had that was Fratelli Toso - something about how they are darker on the edges maybe, but I would never have put two and two together or known that.  The bits in the weight were green.
