This is my Lovely Murano Art Glass Collection all pulled out at one place and time (while my kids were sleeping). I never tried to do this before and I'm happy to say that I didn't damage even one piece, while working on this project.
These pieces were made made in Murano Italy by glass blowing artists' during the 1920's through the 1960's. I am not positive about the large yellow striped vase in the back because it might be older but they were reproduced. My favorite pieces are the one's in the photos, I love them all. I love the fact that these pieces are not made with machines and the artist that made each of them is or was a professional artist. These pieces are very difficult to produce and take many years to learn to make properly. I am proud to own them.
The rarest piece in these photos should be the small Rainbow Bulbous Oil Lamp and then the two matching salt shakers and equally as rare must be the large blue oil lamp.
I hope that this gives y'all a new love for Murano Art Glass.
Love, Love, love, love - Murano / Venetian Art Glass - Great Collection !!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you, my friend.
Some pieces may be made by Fratelli Toso ( Murano ), I think
That is correct. The pieces on the right, on top of and inside the glass case are Fratelli Toso and others might be as well. I believe that the small oil lamp is the only one that was made. It matches the salt shakers that are sitting near the small lamp.
Beautiful collection!
Great collection. I spent some time in Texas, but they finally let me go. LOL !!
