    This fabulous bird turned up in a mixed lot yesterday. I would normally say "Murano Style" but the quality of this 30cm tall gold flecked glass pheasant could only point to a top Murano maker. Sadly no labels. Any thoughts on date and which factory made it? There is so much detail compared to other simple birds. It has similarities (eyes and wings) to an antique Salviati piece I found earlier this year although I don't think that this one is antique.

    No that's an optical illusion.
