Title: Murano Glass Duck???? ID = V Nason
Post by: rachnathanking on April 03, 2015, 05:29:38 PM

Hi everyone.

Could someone please tell me if the below item is a Murano duck?
Or Do you know who made it?
Any info you can supply would be great.

Thanks

Rach

Hi Rach,
I would say Murano for sure. The colours and style look a lot like pieces made by V. Nason:

But several other makers (for instance Bottaro) used similar colour combinations...

Yes, Michael is absolutely correct, this is V Nason, and would have had a circular sticker with V Nason & C Murano Italy on it.  The eyes are a clue, but there has been one for sale in January:

This had the circular sticker and you can see that yours is by the same maker.
Very nice indeed. :)
