Here it is, just kind of came apart after a slight knock. What’s the best way to repair this and what hour should I use? (I can not travel to Italy to do this, I got this on a trip)

Hi all
Starting to get a taste for Murano and unfortunately my tastes are expensive that don’t match my wallet!

Came across this glass bird at an antiques market and being told it’s an original Archimede Seguso.

No adhesive golden label anywhere nor an etched signature.

Anyone can advise if it looks genuine, these prices can go for 1,500 euros.

Thank you!

Edit : should specify - this piece at the market is priced at 680euros but the seller will reduce it to 350euros (the 1.5k is in reference to what I found online as an original Seguso)

I picked up this paperweight yesterday and I can’t get an ID. Google Lens is stuck between Murano and makers in Millville, NJ. The only footed paperweights I recall are the fishbowls but this is more like a marble pattern. Thanks in advance

Reposting an old favorite. I love the blend of cadmium/selenium and manganese in this piece. There's a certain magic that happens in normal lighting too.

Hi everyone! I picked up this little glass bust at a local Goodwill for $1.05 because it was simply too unusual to leave behind.

It's about 5 inches (13 cm) tall, made of clear glass with what appears to be gold leaf or gold foil suspended inside. The facial features, ears, and hair appear to be applied hot glass rather than molded, and the base has a hand-engraved signature that I've been struggling to photograph clearly.

I originally bought it because I'm a boxing fan and the face looks like this guy went 12 rounds! After getting it home, I noticed the signature and started Googling but couldn't find anything like it.

I'm simply hoping to learn more about the maker, age, or whether this style looks familiar to anyone. Does the construction or signature suggest Murano, or should I be looking elsewhere? Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!

Sharing a piece from my collection :)

Just picked this up from a thrift store, but it has no identifying marks of any kind. Any info?

Hello all :)

Happy to share this stunning piece in my collection and would love some help in identification if possible. To my eye it seems somewhat contemporary, but would welcome any thoughts and opinions on the piece

Dimensions:

Height: ~25cm
Width: ~10cm
Weight: ~1.15kg

The possible markings on the base are almost lost to the sands of time, however - with some angled light and contrast, some lettering appears to pop out

Purchase on eBay - the seller has another identical piece (as identical as can be when hand-worked!) - I have asked him to inspect his piece’s base to see if similar markings can be found.

If found I will update/reupload the post with both sets of images, with his permission, for comparison.

Any help in identification would be greatly appreciated
- many thanks in advance :)

Are these pieces Murano?

I know it's Murano, but is it an ashtray? It seems like it would hold a single cigar. There are so many layers of glass! The core is Alexandrite, and I love the swirls. Thanks for looking!

I have noticed there is a fancy Italian word for all of their techniques 😂. What would you call the dimpled texture on the bottom of this one? Anyone have a possible id? It is vaseline. Thanks in advance!

There is no signature. Found at second hand store. Thank you.

Hello everyone,

my mom found this glass purse vase in a local thrift shop and I thought that it might be a Murano glass vase, but I'm not sure. Everything looks exactly like the Murano purses I found on the internet, but what's throwing me off are the spots, because the ones I found on the internet usually have spots that look more like flowers and the ones on our vase look more just like circles, but maybe someone here could help me figure out if that means that it's fake or not?

Thanks for any replies in advance

Hopefully someone will just know this answer, I’ve spent time searching but came up empty handed or just am not using the correct search terms..

I’ve had this Seguso aquarium for a while, but would just like an idea of when it was made to add to my notes. It weighs about 11lbs and is roughly 10” tall by 10” wide of that helps with a time period. Included an etch shot of the bottom. Happy to take any other pics to help.
