    I'm sure someone can date this from the sticker. I am having no luck.
    This is about 3 1/2" long, has 13 grapes and one leaf.
    I can find a lot online but seems there aren't any with the tags still on them.
    Oh, it was only a Dollar at my favorite thrift.

    Look 1970s to my eye. A glass grape clusters were a thing then.

    Thanks. I saw the "my Italian decor" ones. They are much newer. Some of these clusters date as far back as the 40s. I think this foil tag is older than the 70s. But just me hoping. The "MID" set that is close to mine is $50. on their website. Ebay prices range from around 20 dollars to the hundreds.

    Those are pretty. I'd think they were made in the late 60s to mid-70s, but I'm no expert in grapes.

    What does it say on the band, the part of the sticker that wraps around the stem?

    Here's a mention of Anna Mantoan producing glass in 1978.

    "From 1978 he devoted himself to the production of colored lampworked pearls in the jewelry atelier of his mother Anna Mantoan, who could count Yves St. Laurent and other fashion houses among his clients."

    You can always ask the company what years she was active.

    The above quote was an English translation on the company's Italian website. Think "his" meant to be "her".
