Title: Here's an interesting weight that I can't figure out.
Post by: RescoCCC on April 02, 2014, 10:52:22 PM

I think it's contemporary. Other than that, I don't have a clue. What do you guys think? It measures 3 1/4 inches in diameter, and 2 inches high. Flat, polished base.

Hi,

the flat polished bottom, the aventurine spiral ground and the Floating gold leaf suggests
Murano, not older than say 30 years- provisionally, let's hear we have many users very familiar with Murano,

Real silver and Gold leaf usage was/is not very common, but certainly used by Barovier&Toso for instance,
vases, vessels, ashtrays....

Kind regards E.
