    Would you consider this Burmese glass? Pitcher stands 6 5/8" tall, scratched (?) or sanded pontil. It glows --even the pink - green under UV light.

    Any help is appreciated!

    My problem is that I have never seen Burmese glass with green applied leaves.
    Doing a search brings up one on ebay and they are calling it Murano.

    But even the stuff that was imported from Italy in the 70s, I don't recall having seen this kind of application.
    I have a feeling this may be a newer import.

    Of course there are many things I haven't encounterd before, so I could be wrong.

    General search of Burmese with applied leaf.

    Thanks, Cluttered. The reason I posted was because I couldn't find any examples like this one, either. I'm no Murano expert, but Murano doesn't seem right.

    I'm thinking it's newer.

    Hi,
    If newer it has a drop dead gorgeous handle. I can not see it being newer unless it was done by a really well known maker. I do not think Asia is it's source.

    Yes, I think that's it--Murano (though my handle isn't ragged at all). Thank you very much! Would I be correct that it isn't a repro, just a modern piece?

    The site calls it new and not a repro.

    Hi,
    I think Mill Cove has it. It is a very beautiful piece. Just didn't think Murano when
    I saw it.

    This is a piece that I have that was identified as Italian. Similar finish on the legs.

    I would not have guessed the OP's piece was Italian. I haven't seen anything like it before, very pretty. Nice ID, Cluttered and Mill Cove.

    Learned something today. Thanks!

    Except for the handle, it reminds me of some Stevens and Williams I've seen. I don't know whether they marked all their pieces or not.
