Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, and thank you again for using Mearto.
Do you have an address I can look up?
It looks like it is 17 fondamenta dei vetrai
adding a couple pictures of the store front. I bought it 7 years ago but I'm almost positive that's where I took the tour and bought the glass. I have some shot glasses from there as well if that would help with the identification?
That's great, Jeff.
Made by Franco Schiavon; his pieces don't bring very much but this is a nice one.
If you'd like me to include the dimensions in this appraisal - which is conventional, please forward the overall height at your convenience and I'll add it in.
Hi Delia Unfortunately it does not have a marker on it. I can see the shop I bought it at on google earth but can't see the name of it :(
