Hi! I was wondering how I can confirm this is a Murano piece? When I look it up it appears to be a Murano Saint Marks Lion, but I can’t find any that have black in it like mine. Any information would help! Thank you!
I don't know the maker and I believe it to Murano any help is always appreciated
So, I've been looking for one of these I could afford for a while. Today's the day, but what did I buy? It looks like Ferro & Lazzarini glass, but it has a French Schneider signature. Murano style, or fake signature?!
Curious about this signature on a glass ‘pear’. ChatGPT and Google gave me nothing. It’s a pretty colour and caught my eye - I’m a magpie for pretty things.
It was advertised as ‘Murano Style’ (charity shop / thrift store), which is standard as they do not want to over promise when they are not expert. But it could be tourist tat.
Was hoping you lovely people could help :)
6" tall and the softest smoothest glass I've ever held. No aventurine like many similar I've found, and it's not lustrous
Inherited this vase from my mom—my grandmother was an antique and collectibles dealer (Akron, Ohio), and I’m working through a large collection of glass trying to identify a few pieces.
This vase has a twisted spiral stem, four-point crimped rim, satin/frosted finish, and a light smoky blush/rose tint. The base has a rough pontil, and there’s an old inventory label inside that appears to read “Fratelli Toso 1914.” Assume this was written by my grandma.
Mainly curious about:
-whether this looks consistent with Fratelli Toso
-if 1914 seems plausible
-approximate value/rarity if authentic
Would love any insight you may have.
Appreciate any help—thanks!
