<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LoveTheHunt!, post: 12293875, member: 8191&quot;]Greetings!</p><p>I acquired a beautiful tea set that belonged to a gentleman&#039;s mother - or grandmother? - and would like to learn more about it.</p><p>The set includes a teapot, cream (or milk?) jug, and 6 cups &amp; saucers (no sugar bowl found). They are ruby red glass with a scene of what I take to be &quot;Commedia Dell&#039;arte&quot; figures painted around the circumferences, along with heavy gold embellishments. (The gold feels similar to the silver overlay on a green glass set from the same estate.)</p><p>In my attempts to research online, I have found only a very few similar pieces, with various terminology thrown around, such as &quot;Venetian Murano&quot;, &quot;Commedia Dell&#039;arte&quot;, &quot;Moser&quot;, &quot;Salviati&quot;, &quot;Ruby Glass&quot;, and so on.</p><p>I am sure some of those terms apply, but would like to narrow it down to the most accurate ones and eliminate any that don&#039;t belong. Any opinions about the time period are also welcome.</p><p>I&#039;m also curious about the value - I&#039;ve only seen a couple items showing prices, and even those vary widely, from (less than) $345 for a 15-piece set (date sold, unknown) to a Cup &amp; 2 Saucers set currently offered for 398 euro - big difference!</p><p>I have attached pictures of the Teapot, Creamer, and one Cup &amp; Saucer. I welcome any and all comments and opinions about these. Thanx in advance!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]553481[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]553482[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]553483[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]553484[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]553486[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
