Hello,

just found this forum whilst trying to find some information on a couple of small birds i picked up from a car boot sale.

The seller told me they were Murano, I also bought 2 Vases which are supposed to be Murano and a MDINA vase which is a signed piece.

Id just like to know if these birds are likely to be murano? and possibly an aproximate value.

There are 2 brown birds... one is bit smaller.

Omar,

I like the birds, but it is almost impossible to tell if these are Murano or not....
Birds similar to these are often made inexpensively for ventian tourists....

Thanks for replying..

To be honest i dont like them very much, the only reason i bought them was because i had bought 5 vases from this seller she gave me the 3 birds for £1 GBP. she told told me they were murano.

im going to put the birds on ebay soon...

i'm going to post some photos of the vases to see if anyone can help with those..

thats not a bad deal for 3 birds, even if they arent Murano.

I would be interested in seeing the vases as well.
