    The body is beautiful, but the head (or lack thereof) disturbs me.

    Okay, teaching moment. What does "the eyes aren't too flash" mean? They aren't good? I feel woefully out of touch with current lingo.

    He he that was funny. Aren't flash means they really don't line up considering quality of colours

    IMHO..not great quality....Murano fish eyes usually do not look like blobs...also..mouth is really weird !!!

    Gotta admit it stumps me, too.
    Similar to Murano work, but I've never seen one with a hollow body and no head. If by "eye" you mean that circular addition above the front fin, I'd say maybe, might be, but I doubt it.
    To find age you would have to scan hundreds of Murano pages (If it is) to find one like it. Murano glass makers have been producing for centuries. Could be anywhere from the beginning of time to last year.
    But frankly, I doubt it is Murano because I don't believe they ever made a fish that is hollowed out with no head.

    Wow. That is the first time flash has been used in that category.

    There are a lot of Murano like glass sea creatures coming out of China. I confess to having purchased a couple for my aquarium.

    So glad you posted that. Actually one of my aquarium pieces turns out to be a Murano stingray.

    Well, perhaps I'm wrong. According to 777's find and Pinterest Chris's fish is Murano.

    Running in the $40. range, but I didn't go far enough to check age.
    Frankly, still question it, BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
