Topic: Murano fish?

[Sendhandfran]

Hi sue. I can't imagine one with metal bits. Do you have it posted? How old would you say this is? I thought probably not very if they're still being made.

Thanks for the link flying free. They're very similar. I noticed on Keith's and others i found the top fins aren't as pointy as this one. I wonder if that could help pin it down. I'm still looking for the 'Chinese' one i found...

No, and I don't have a pic. I'll have to take one for you.
It came from TKMaxx, it was a birthday present and it lives on top of the downstairs loo cistern.
(under a blanket of dust which will need seen to before it poses for its portrait. )

Funny you should say tkmax, they had a lovely Murano dish there once, i wish I'd got it now, it wasn't very expensive but large & i can't afford Every bit of glass i like & don't have much space. But i was very surprised to find such a nice piece of glass at TKmax. I wouldn't have thought look there for new glass.

Much of my Beranek collection came from TKMaxx.
When I discovered the Tropical Flowers for just £5 each, I ended up making two trips into town on the same day to get 6 of them home. They were not easy to carry on the bus!
I also got a couple of lovely large Tarnowiec vases I use as wastpaper baskets.
These days, though I mostly only go to see what to avoid on "antique" stands, and to see how glass from the far east is developing in sophistication.

Lol. Interesting tactics. What a good idea. i was fascinated looking at the glass in there. Usually i avoid the place unless i need clothing or bedding, i never even knew they sold glass until recently. Its a learning curve alright.
