Label library?

[ohioglassguy]

Hello,
There used to be a link to a really great site that had pictures of old Murano labels. Anyone know where it went?
Thanks in advance

I have actually been putting a lot of time into updating and reinstalling the label library this past week. It was originally shut down by the webhost since it was supposedly using up a lot of their bandwidth. However, I have reinstalled it on a new server and finalizing some random stuff prior to its reintroduction. I will post when it is live.

Thanks, look forward to it. I have a piece that has a castle on it and my memory says this is a Toso label but want to be certain

Maybe I can help. If it is like the one shown below, it is Fratelli Toso.

That's the one, I thought I was correct but wanted to be certain. Any idea as to age?
Again, Thanks

I don't know much about the Castle label except that it is supposed to be an import label. The only glass I have ever seen it on has been Fratelli Toso. Some of the glass I have seen the label on was from the 1960s and maybe 1970s. I don't know if it was also on some of the older pieces. If you post a picture of your glass or let us know what it is, someone might know the age.

Fossil, thats brilliant job , really helpful info.

By the way referring to the Lavorazione label, does that mean it might not be Murano?
I've got a dish with that label, actually i'l put a pic of it on at some point. The base of it is really weired.
