I purchased this piece at an estate auction and I am wondering if anyone would know anything about this? It is 2 pieces, one seems to fit in the other. You can see small bubbles in it and has the bottom ground. The larger piece measures 10" and the smaller piece is 5-3/4". They both have gold stickers, one says Murano Glassware Crystal Clear Made in Italy with a martini glass; the other sticker says Murano Style Glassware, Crystal Clear Made in Italy.
They are in excellent condition, and the colors are vibrant. Please Help Me!
There are 2 images attached

Lucille, Welcome to the Forums!
I took a look at your pics, I do not think that the one with the label "Murano Style Glassware, Crystal Clear Made in Italy" is Murano Glass. Murano Style means it looks similar to Murano glass, but is made elsewhere. However, I hope this does not dissuade you from collecting MG, and the forums.

Good Luck!

Hi, Lucille. The large bowl looks like a bowl I have. The stickers on my bowl read "Lavorazione Arte Murano, Made in Italy" and "Made in Italy." I believe that Lavorazione Arte Murano is the name of the company, but I'm not sure.
