I have a Murano style vase about 6 1/2" tall and 4 1/2" wide. I'm wondering if you can tell me if this is a Murano or a knock-off Murano from the pictures? The bottom is a bit frosted from scuffing. I say that because I was told real Murano vases are always as clear on the bottom as on the sides when made. But someone else has a similar vase as this and their bottom is very clear as the sides are.
If a knock-off, would you have any idea of when made, what company and value? Thanks again, Charles.
I think this is likely a relatively recent make from China, based on the colours and the shape. The millefiori are very randomly places and the rolled lip don't indicate Murano for me.
We don't value here but Ebay may give you a guide. Personally, I think this glass is attractive at the right price, it just doesn't have a Venetian style or finish.
Others said the same Asian connection but wanted more opinions, thank you :)
