Now that's a surprise. I would have bet that the gold was inside, which goes to show how tough it can be to tell from pictures. JP: you're right about gold leaf some times being applied to the outside of pieces in Murano, but it does disperse in scattered fragments, rather than staying in a line. Venini and AVeM and a few others used it. You can feel it on the surface but it doesn't come off as it is is fused to the glass.
Still, I think this is a reasonable older piece.
Paul: you've set a new standard for generosity. Be careful or we'll all wanting a choice from your collection. Reading your post was a good way to start the day.
