I am trying to understand the difference in these designs or styles

all pieces and photos are mine

the first I assume is tutti frutti from AVeM

then supposedly there is no such thing as "end of day" > was just a myth?

so I am interested in how you would refer to these 3 other types of design?

The Glass Encyclopedia has loads of information which will help you learn about different types of glass, and the Glass Museum had expanded articles on a whole range of glass subjects that help to expand your knowledge. Both sites are owned by the same person as owns this message board and you will find a link to them both at the foot of each page of the message board for convenience. Hope this helps. :)

In Murano we identify your first photo as Bizantino piece from AVEM.
Made with Zanfirico, reticello, retorti, silver leaf and sometimes Avventurina  ;D

thanks for the feedback, this Bizantino style is probably my favourite from Murano

I visit lots of markets + shops and I rarely see Biazantino pieces for sale

very cool, I like your collection

by coincidence I bought a Bizantino piece today, they are like detailed abstract paintings, you see something new each time you look at them

if I could only buy one, would probably select the biggest one  ;D

on the rare times I have seen these Bizantino pieces for sale, they were fairly small
