Very nice and cheerful, I don't know who made them but would also consider Carlo Moretti given their exuberance.

Moretti was my first thought, too, but I could not find these on the net or in any of my Murano reference books.

No me neither but my books only have the occasional reference to Moretti. I did not think they looked like the style of Sottsass but that is no reliable guide as there are so many surprises out there.
