<p>[QUOTE="Miscstuff, post: 2811392, member: 1331"]Seen these a few times on the net. Some described as Victorian era Salviati Murano glass and others as 1950s Italian or Venetian glass. Not quite sure what mine is. My first thought was one of Ridleys’ baby aliens not a dragon and there didn’t seem to be any wear on the bottom until I looked with a loupe. There is a moderate foot wear pattern on a very thin (less than 0.5mm) line around the foots rim with the curved rest shining light and making it very hard to see. There are lines of gold dust in the glass running up the spine and it appears to have a gold brain. Not sure if this is described as a comport or a vase but that section seems to be non UV yellow vaseline glass.</p><p><br /></p><p>Data</p><p>0.3Kg 24.8cm High, 14.5cm Wide</p><p><br /></p><p>Cheers</p><p>Stephen</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S.
