The five mostly white canes typically Fratelli Toso, the centre cane typically Avem, the wispy pink canes don't ring a bell.

Sorry, that was pretty unhelpful, I would assume from Murano but would not like to pin down a particular maker. Fratelli Toso made canes for many other makers and not all from Murano. As it happens I suspect they made canes for Avem and Archimede Seguso.

I had a pair quite a while ago, and think they might have been Caithness?
Just checked (Vasart & Strathearn), and they are nothing like yours https://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,68724.msg382295.html#msg382295
Sorry ::)

Hi there,

A bit late but I think these pink doorknobs are indeed Murano and by Fratelli Toso. The paperweight version comes regularly on the market but I had never seen doorknobs before.
