Can anyone identify this bowl for me? I have found only one picture online of a similar piece and they claimed it was Murano glass. I'd like to be sure though. Any help would be much appreciated.
It measures approximately 6.5" across by 3" high. It is not a perfect circle nor are the pinches all exactly the same. It does appear to be hand crafted and you can see where it was cut along the bottom but I haven't been able to find any identifying marks on it.
It can be really tough to identify the makers of these controlled bubble pieces. They were made by numerous makers in several countries. Also, Murano is an island in Italy famous for hosting numerous glass making factories and studios, so a lot of glass was made by these factories and had "Murano" on the labels, so attributing Murano glass to a specific maker is also difficult. I have a several pieces that I have not been able to identify.
