I posted this in the garage sale section but couldn't get much help. Looking for attribution and/or pattern type. I'm trying to put a pattern or style name to these pieces of glass I found at a thrift store recently. I believe they are Italian (Murano). They are hand blown, opalescent, and have gold leaf inclusions. I can't find a similar looking match anywhere to put a value to them.

Go to a book store and look at the collectors books on glass. Not everything is online. If you have done that, try an antique store that specializes in glass.

I own quite a few glass books and am pretty well versed in vintage art glass/pottery myself. That's how I came to the half description of what it is. However, I am not an expert. I am just trying to take it a step further as to a pattern description for it and perhaps a maker. I know there are members on this site who are good at research, which is why I posted it here. think I will try to find a glass collectors forum and ask there. I believe this is too much for a general "what is it" forum. I just figured i'd give it a shot. It's category specific type of thing and an expert will be needed I believe. Thanks for the reply.

If this were an object that was dug, I'm sure there would be more interest, after all this is a "metal detecting" site above all else.
