Title: Murano angel with unknown label
Post by: bakonychris on May 17, 2006, 07:17:05 AM

I'm pretty new here, hoping to join the forum quite often.

I'm collecting murano glass and I have bought a beautiful murano angel. The figure is about 24 cm high, clear gold with green and yellow inclusions.
It has a murano label - but I can't identify it.

Has anyone seen before this label or does anyone know it (the manufacturer etc.)?
Thanks for all answerings

many greetings from germany
Chris

Hi Chris. Welcome to the board. We were only recently bemoaning the lack of German representation on GMB. Your English is fine, don't worry.

Can't help you with your lovely lady's label though, sorry. However, it would be a good idea to post a picture of the label on the labels thread at the top of this forum for future reference

Thanks.
I'll post the label later (maybe someone can find out more)

Chris

Hello Chris,
Thanks for joining!
The angel looks like pieces sold with the J.I. Co. Venetian Glass labels. I have seen many Madonna Figures in the same style as your angel with that label. I cant really say much about your particular label since I havent seen it before. Looks 70's to me. Hope this helps a bit.
