    Found this today and took a bit of a gamble on it. It has a label stating Braganti Firenze. I can't find anything like it on the internet although I have found a few items by the silver smith Braganti. This doesn't seem to be in the same league as what I have found online though. The makers mark matches though so I'm confident it is bone fide. I guess this is more production line manufactured for the broader market.

    Slag glass? Is that what it is? :rolleyes: I thought it was the plastic pellets you got in those stained glass kits as a child. It does let it down a bit. I think the base is just a pressed sheet of silver then four pre fabricated feet soldered on.

    The mark tells you it's 1968 or later.
