    LOUMANAL

    I call it an "all-in" because it seems to contain all the different techniques of glass decoration . I'm not sure it's even a Murano piece.....if it is, who could have made it? There are five bands of decoration, the first one with Aventurine inside an emerald green layer, another containing black & white spiral canes, next to it is a yellow, blue & white rods in a Ruby & Sapphire band, next to that is a band with multi-colored spatter in a silver layer and finally the copper Aventurine bubbles in a Gold/Amber band. It's a small dish measuring only 3" in diameter and 1 1/2" tall. The front is smooth but the back is slightly "pebbled". Anyone recognize the maker? RER(BOB)

      Almost a glass sampler! Very cool.
      Those black and white canes are tiny!

      it is next to impossible to identify this kind of art glass piece. it is not a blown it is fused glass, and as such the threshold of making piece like it is quite low (one electric furnace could be acquired for couple of thousands $) as opposed to blown glass where investment is considerably more substantial.

      So to summarize it is fun piece to make and to behold, but it is closer to the category of folk art than art glass and the maker usually is not identifiable.
