<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 220321, member: 36"]I hate to say it, but I'm with the original responses rather than the OP; there's nothing old on that magnifying glass and I really don't think it's Italian. The metal isn't old, its design isn't European in origin, and the glass looks more Chinese than anything else. They're doing a lot better at it these days, but the pot metal holder isn't "right" for Italian glass. The genuine Italian ones I've been able to find had no metal at all. It's still possible of course, but like Brad I'd need something concrete to change my mind.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
