Glasses, Murano with gold
11 glasses apx 5"X 1 7/8" hold 3/4 cup, 12 glasses apx 3 1//2" X 3 12" hold 1 1/4 cups, 12 glasses apx 6 1/4"X2 3/8" hold 1 1/2 cups
I purchased these at the factory in Murano in 1968 while on a European trip. It was wonderful to see them making the glass. I do not remember which factory, nor do I have any receipt since it was so long ago. They have been displayed in my home behind glass, but I think I might have used them only once. There are no markings on them.
