Grandmother's Ashtrays (1950s) - Murano?

[jenny4]

Hello all, I have two ashtrays that were my grandmother's (1950s). I'm trying to determine if they are Murano or ? They both are quite heavy. This one measures approx 10.5" X 9". It has gold flecks throughout that were very hard to capture. Here are pics of the first one:

I'm in the process of taking pics of the second one which I will post when done.

Thanks so much for any help you can give me - I appreciate it!

Jennifer,

Welcome to the forums.
I have a few questions for you:

Do you have any more info on the ashtrays?
Do they have stickers attached or is there any engraving visible?
Do you know where your grandmother purchased them?

This might help narrow it down.
