Is my Murano collection Murano?

[gidnoid]

Hi, I'm new to murano and i've brought a few little birds recently as i think there really beautiful. I've just learnt that one small duck may be fake but what about these ones?

To me eye, none of them are Murano. Nothing wrong with them, just not Murano.

Have a good browse through Anita's (TxSilver) Zoo and that will give a great idea of the range of Murano birds.
