<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheOLdGuy, post: 81736, member: 878&quot;]Well, Google is my favorite and longest used search engine. I remember in the mid 1990s when someone told me to Google my own name. Interesting!! Very!! There were twelve hits.One was actually me. With a picture. It might even still be there, BUT, now there are 12,500,000 results. A nice rounded off figure. </p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, Pat. I see what you meant by Murano <u>Glass</u>. There is one particular Murano glass maker selling rods for hundreds of uses. Appears he/she invented some method to produce spectacular colors a few hundred years ago. Those are sold to numerous companies around the world for various end products. </p><p><br /></p><p>Only problem is that there are many sites concerning that manufacturer and most state that it is the ONLY glass maker on Murano. Contradicting other, more authoritative ones that name, and link to 22 firms with there own glass making furnaces. Plus the one mentioning that Venice &quot;kicked out&quot; <u>all glass makers</u> many, many years ago. Sending them to the 9 sq. mile island of Murano. That was due to the fear of a glass company catching fire. If you are familiar with glass companies, such as in USA you will know that is a very common occurrence. That article&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s another site rendering what I accept as correct concerning Murano. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com.au/gds/Murano-Art-Glass-is-it-fake-or-real-/10000000177884802/g.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com.au/gds/Murano-Art-Glass-is-it-fake-or-real-/10000000177884802/g.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com.au/gds/Murano-Art-Glass-is-it-fake-or-real-/10000000177884802/g.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
