I'm off to Malta in 2 weeks, and something I am looking forward to is watching the glass blowing at Mdina. I might just buy myself a present too 😉2021 Decluttering Awards: ⭐⭐🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇 2022 Decluttering Awards: 🥇

@EcoIntent - does it matter to you whether it is genuine Murano? If its made in a designated factory on the island, fair enough - but much of the stuff found for sale in the tourist areas of Venice are in fact manufactured in China.No man is worth crawling on this earth.
So much to read, so little time.8 -
@Rosa_Damascena no not really as I’ve only bought them for myself because I liked them not because I was hoping they were valuable 🙂. Id feel different if wanting to invest in a piece. These do have nice patterns within the glass. Sadly I think all the copies of everything are taking over so it’s hard to be sure…….@Floss I’ve only seen glass being blown once and loved it! Hope you have a fab time! I got a hand blown robin from them at the time (Teign Valley glass makers). Would love to learn more9
