ALT Murano paperweight

Nice well made weight, struggling to find much info on it, could it be an abbreviation maybe?







Thanks for taking a look.

Hi, Chris. This is a simple one. The company name is ALT. They made a good many paperweights. I think they were only in business for a short time. They signed their pwts with ALT Murano.

I just checked and apparently ALT is still open unless it has recently closed. I don't know a lot about them other than what I see on the internet.

Hi Anita, hope you are good.
The only thing I could find mainly dealt with lighting.
Then found them listed in Great Glass ALT Lucialternative formerly Vetreria ALT now part of the FDV group

http://www.great-glass.co.uk/glass%20notes/mana-b.htm

Lists them originally makers of all type of glass including paperweights and now mainly lighting.
Thanks for your help.

Chris, very nice paperweight! Can I add the signature to the library? We are closing in on a milestone of 200 photos (currently at 193!).

Thanks

No worries, a cropped one if it helps any?



The link to my album if it's easier to grab it from there, any problems let me know and I will email them to you.
