I think the absence of replies says a lot.

Im sorry Ivo I dont think I understand what you mean?

But I will post again in that section unless this gets moved...which it hasn't yet.

Helga, personally I know the miniscule amount about Murano glass, but I'm not sure this is a Fratelli Toso piece.  I could be wrong however  
There are a couple of other pieces listed on the site that I'm also not sure about the id's of.  It's difficult and sometimes people get their identifications wrong - for example I am currently thinking about buying a piece from an antiques site online, but I know their identification of it is wrong....I know what it is and it's not what they list it as.

I think Ivo means not it's not Fratelli Toso, but to expect answers in barely 3 hours when much of the Northern hemisphere is asleep is also rather optimistic!!

If you don't know what something is, you should post it in the general glass section.

[Hel]

yep no I was not wondering about the replies, just wondering about if i had posted in the correct place.


and all those mis-attributions all over the place are tiring I guess, I can see how you serous glass folks end up doing the work yourself!

thanks

I couldn´t tell neither if it´s Fratelli Toso or not, but I saw this shop before, and they misID a lot of stuff indeed. There is a swedish Aseda vase they call Murano:

Also they attribute tons of stuff to Carlo Moretti, some are Carlo Moretti, but many seem to be Opaline Florence, hmmm...

And I would think this -
http://wunderkammershop.de/product_info.php?cPath=37_42&products_id=1075
is Empoli rather than Carlo Moretti.
If it's Carlo Moretti I've got one very similar at auction on ebay that I'll have to cancel and relist with a new, higher starting bid!

I meant no one can tell for sure if that piece was made by Flli Toso or not - so no one will reply. I think it is highly improbable though .- if it were, someone here would know.
