<p>[QUOTE="Rclinftl, post: 8813871, member: 78249"]so here are 2 examples of a reverse thumb print vaseline glass jewelry casket box - one advertises it as Italian/Murano while the other as French - here's the thing - I have NEVER seen any reverse thumb print glass attributed to anyone other than American makers - NEVER - both examples are larger than most caskets - the second looks like the form of the Italian cylindrical caskets that are opaline but it is much larger in scale - you could fit all the other Italian caskets inside this one - I should also note that both of the caskets while vaseline are also opaline - I also don't recall of any American glass companies producing caskets...
