    Hello there - I have been trying to find out the manufacturer of this glass egg, and while I sometimes get close, I've had no luck so far. It's likely European, but other than that, I don't know. Thanks for all your helpful comments so far. I'm still hoping that the mystery can be unravelled. It is quite large (about 14" tall). There is no signature or label that I can find. I will post another item so I can add the photos.

      Boy, this is a fun one. I would narrow it down to Italy or Czech. Are the photos from a gallery? I see M.M. Handells on the bottom? Dave

      Hi Dave, thanks for your reply. I agree also that it's prob Czech. I wish I could narrow it down to a maker. This is from a family collection, and that is a relative's initials- the one who organized the photography. It's going to be up for sale soon.

      Czech are hard to pin point, they mostly place foil labels on the bottom or side "Made in Czech". Here is my Secret Label website, Don't tell anyone I gave this to you! It has tons of vintage art glass labels so you can look one up. LOL

      Alfedo is right, I do see most of the Czech pieces with enamel or painted. I have looked in just about every book I have and nothing. It would have to lean to Italy at this point, but who? Dave

      Dear Alfredo and Dizzydave, thanks for your insight. I believe the metal is brass - I have to do some other photography today, and will get the egg out to do some closeup work. Thanks again.

      dear huronia, I couldn't believe in my eyes when I saw the picture, I have exactly the same one with a different color and pattern... I can send u the picture if u want... my grandmother gave it to me and it belongs to our family since forever (we live in Istanbul, Turkey btw) I can learn where it did come from and share my insights...

      Thanks very much for your suggestion, Leah, I really appreciate it. I will look into that possibility!
