I'm coming a bit late to this discussion, but I have several 'Murano' fish that were certainly made in New Zealand! The Crown Crystal Glass factory in Hornby, Christchurch New Zealand brought in glassmakers from UK, Sweden and Germany in the 1950s and 1960s. An English glassblower named Tom Farrell has been identified as one maker. Subsequently, as the glassblowers moved factories, very similar fish were made at the Hokitika Glassworks on the South Island West Coast and in the Pye television factory in Lower Hutt near Wellington. Has anyone identified when this tradition of very similar looking fish began?
