What I like about "Collectors Weekly" is the information other people give on your posts (thanks everyone) and also what can be learned looking at others posts. Just after I saved my last post a couple of small pickys popped up, one from Antiquerose from 7 years ago. In it she showed a bowl she had brought with a small sticker which had been damaged by having masking tape stuck over it that she managed to recover showing "made in japan" which was very interesting as I have a bowl the same but in different colours! Mine has no sticker and I thought it probably was mid century Japanese but had no proof. There is a lot of it here in NZ, Murano is a bit scarcer. I'm not an expert on glass but it always amuses me that a lot of people on eBay (worldwide) or Trade Me (in NZ) seem to think "coloured art glass must be Murano!!" Even I can see a lot of it certainly isn't. As well as the red/yelllow bowl which is the same as Antiquerose's I have a green/yellow one that has had a different twist to the ends that look like they would have come from the same place. They have similar dimensions but the largest is 260mm wide and 140mm high.
Yeah Rose has been very helpful with IDs!
I think most Japanese glass collectors know that in Aus, and probs in NZ, most glass called Murano is actually vintage Japanese.
I have never found one of these, so good on you for having two of different colours!
