    Have a nice art glass bowl that I am thinking probably came out of Murano. Was wondering if anyone could confirm this and possibly point me in the direction of a certain maker. Also id there a particular name for this style with the little colored pieces inserted randomly into the glass. Bowl measures 11 1/4" long, 8 3/8" wide and is 2 1/4" deep. has a smooth polished base.

    I don't think it's a Murano maker. Might be Italian, one of those Arte Murano factories, but I suspect more likely Far Eastern and very new. Those are square canes in the style of millefiori. Nicely enough done.

    Thanks Bear. For my own future reference, may I ask what makes you think modern and out of Asia?

    Much is having seen and handle a lot of both Murano and modern Asian. This doesn't have the flair or the individuality I'd expect from "proper" art glass, and the colour is a bit vicious. It also looks relatively non chunky and the canes aren't very detailed. The bottom has that mass produced look, too.

    Not sure that's all that helpful. ;)

    I to think that it is Asian. The Italian quality is not there.
