Found this signed Bullicante Aventurine Glass Pear. It is signed...but is it Murano? Stands 5" tall. Thank you!

It looks as if it might read Vistossi.
I've done a search for a Vistossi signature but only came up with something in all caps, so far.
There are others here who know far more about Italian glass than I do - it's an area that scares me. ;D

I don’t know what your sign says.
But for info, normally when we see this gold pears in Sweden, they are from FM Ronneby / Marcolin.
I can’t identify yours.
Since marcolin are original from Murano maybe yours pear too.
Here comes a link over Swedish päron...:)

You have to copy the link to get all.

My experience with Murano glass is that almost none is engraved with a makers name and certainly not with a date.  So I believe you have two possibilities heere.  Firstly, it is the product of a small studio and the techmiquwes are not to difficult for that to be true.  Secondly it is a frigger made in Murano by a glassblower and then later signed and sold by the worker.  Personally I am tending to the second possibility.
