Hi,
Got it. Thanks for bumping the thread up. Very interesting.
I've had a lot of Murano glass with polished pontils. However, this one is so perfectly round, and, well, perfectly polished, that it just doesn't feel Italian to me. I wonder if it could be Czech or something like that. I just bought the new Czech glass book by Helmut Ricke, and am going to peruse it just in case.
Thanks!
Laura
