Title: Murano fish paperweight or far Eastern
Post by: malcmat on September 14, 2015, 06:59:48 PM

Just wondered if  this single fish paperweight  is Murano or far Eastern
7.8cm dia x 6.5cm tall and a nice flat ground and polished base.
Many thanks
Malcolm

Hi Malcolm,

It is Murano indeed. I have seen other examples with a Ferro & Lazzarini label. So this is where this fish comes from in my opinion.

Thanks SophieB  I thought it could have been murano as it did not have that oily feel to the glass if thats how one describes it lol
very much appreciated thank you
