This is a small bowl about 5 inches across. I believe is Murano because it looks like it with a curl, and a Flip....plus all the Aventurine it is. The base has come good wear. There is some residue on the bottom. Maybe from a Price Tag or from a Label?? In the second pic, you will see that there is *one* small blue streak in it. Must have gotten another color mixed in by mistake...lol. It could have had the ??? "" Hand Made Venetian Glass Vetro Artistico Veneziano Made In Murano Italy"" label -- Maybe. Not sure of the Maker, but Sure it is True Murano Art Glass. If you have any ideas on the maker -- Please let me know. THANKS

Thanks for stopping and loving!!

Gorgeous bowl Rosie and definitely Murano! The decor is known as Starry Night. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Murano-FRATELLI-TOSO-STARRY-NIGHT-LATTIMO-BOWL-YELLOW-GOLD-LEAF-BOWL-/310362089066 Yours is a classic example with an almost dreamlike swirl effect quality, and like this example, could very well be made by Fratelli Toso. The quality is certainly there. My reference books have more and better examples, but unfortunately I can't include them. Here are a couple of pics. http://postimg.org/image/55dn0si9f/ http://postimg.org/image/fgpztg9yr/ The one with the bucket is one I had a while back, and although you can't see the entire inside, you can see where the swirls start loosening up. Very often you'll find the name Starry Night applied to anything with swirls, but these are not representative of the decor. Here's an example: https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/9275457_vintage-starry-night-murano-freeform-bowl
