Title: help identifying paperweight. ID = Murano
Post by: eshearm on June 07, 2017, 01:43:47 PM

Hi this paperweight I believe is Murano, but the label is unusual, there is one currently on ebay identical with etched mark to base saying hand made murano.  Could I have some feedback opinions on this please, kindestsw

No idea which factory, they seem to date from the 1980s though, sometimes they have big chunks of aventurine like these two.

Hi.

I suspect it is a label of origin added by a shop, or maybe an importer's label, rather than a factory label.

Thank you guys, I did wonder, I can make out hand made, possible Italian, but it's nice to have reassurance xxxx
