    Did any particular company use this "Venetian Glass - Made in Italy" sticker, or was it a general export label?

    Thanks! (P.S. - Sorry about the dust. He's about to get a bath.)

    Chuck, there seem to be a fair number of these out there, but attributing them to any one maker seems iffy...

    This one says it's Archimede Seguso:

    The one here says Cenedes Antonio De Ros Design, with perhaps a bit more to back it up:

    The one shown at this link is said to be identical to one with a description including:
    Its paper label apparently read "GENUINE VENETIAN GLASS MADE IN ITALY".
    The figurine was attributed to Cenedes Antonio De Ros Design, with reference to a book by Leslie Pina on Italian Glass Century 20, page 211. Online research also revealed that there is a similar poodle shown in the Picture Book of Vaseline Glass by Sue C. Davis, 2nd Ed. 2001, pg. 149.


    What everyone seems to agree on is a date ca.1950's...

    Thank you for finding those! I have also found a few other examples, all unsigned and listed as being made by various makers. I was hoping having one with its sticker might be a bonus.

    I found the Worthpoint listing being referenced in the second example. Unfortunately I don't have that particular Leslie Pina book.

    I do have the Picture Book of Vaseline Glass, though. It's heavy on examples of vaseline glassware - bowls and vases and such. It didn't occur to me to check for poodles, since I was focued on the Murano aspect. Her example is slightly different from mine, and isn't attributed to a maker:

    Hmmm. Well, that didn't really solve anything, did it? :confused: I'm sorry.
