Giuliano Tosi? Opinions?

[Replays]

Third attempt at this post. Sorry admin and mods. Anyway, first let me say, thanks for a wonderful site. Have been here many times doing research and always found the answers I needed. I have this bowl with Giuliano Tosi signed on bottom, and sig matches the other I found here. I am looking for opinions on authenticity and value. The bowl measures approx. 9 3/4" across top, 3 1/4" across base, and 3 1/2" tall. Has vivid coloring and some bubbling. I am only posting 3 pics, but including links for rest of album. The bowl will not be listed anywhere for sale until I am satisfied I have all the info that can be had.



2 links for whole album:

Facebook album which includes another bowl, with a controversial Murano sticker, I am curious about.

TIA for any input, opinions, and advice,

Billy

Welcome to the forums! New member posts are moderated, the amount of spam can get unweildy at times. A great looking bowl, but im not an expert on Giuliano Toso, so I will leave it to my more knowledgeable compatriots. The Lavarazione Arte Murano label is found on many contemporary pieces, but although it may it be made in Italy, its not Murano glass.

Hi Billy, some informations to Giuliano Tosi. I guess the glas of the vase is similar to your bowl. So you can evaluate it.

Thanks for the info, for some reason that Ebay item didn't show up in my search, even the International search. The vase listed is taller but smaller in diameter, about the same weight and coloring. The other site I found here the other day researching this bowl and saved it to my favorites.

I have read everything I could find here and elsewhere about the Lavarazione, and found all the answers here I needed on it. It is a nice piece of glass, will make a good center piece for someone one day lol.

Thanks again for the help,

Billy

The two of you were a great help and I really appreciate it. Don't know if I should continue this here and ask or post elsewhere, but here it goes:

I would really like to sell this bowl. Problem is, even with the research I have done, and the help gained here, I still feel uncomfortable with it. The only thing I have found even remotely close in design and coloring is the link La Spezia posted earlier. I don't know how to date it, nor price it. Could use a little help. I do have an online venue for selling, won't post link here because not sure of rules. I am a lover of glass, but I have always focused on smaller pieces. Would appreciate any help I could get with this, if any is available.

Thanks,

Billy
