    Any Murano glass experts, I have come into the possession of a 40 year old large glass Murano bull bought in Venice... help?

    Do you see a signature on him anywhere? Would most likely be on his underside and look like scratches in the glass.

    Looks very similar to this. But similar is not an exact I.D. Maybe some further research...

    Looked this morning, can’t see signatures or labels. It does look very similar to the one on Etsy though - can’t seem to find much more online

    Not all Nason is signed. The problem is that these have been widely imitated.

    oh right I see, not sure if it makes a difference but I definitely know it was bought in the late 70’s/80’s in Venice by my grandfather

    That does help. More likely to be Nason.

    Anyone have any ideas on realistic potential value for this? I am planning on selling it, I won’t find anywhere for it in my property

    I'm sorry. Looks like the other colors are bringing in a bit more $, but not much.
