I'm a baby in regards to these fun, Summer finds.... I have some guesses as to where these lovely items may have originated, but gosh, the more you learn the less you know... Anyone willing to share some thoughts?
(some pieces glow... )
I can tell you to look up Teleflora Vase on ebay and you will find the one in the centre at the back. The others are quite colourful and are certainly the start of a nice Art Glass collection. RER
By 'some pieces glow' if you mean that that pieces glow in dark, then they are 'Vaseline glass' and the only one I think that could glow would be the tall one on right with yellow hue. Happy collecting!

Thank you Lou, it's hard to tell sometimes. I'm assuming you mean the yellow and green vase towards the back... Thank you for taking the time to comment.taking the time to comment
BlueBonnet; thank you so much for taking the time to respond as well. Working from left to right the tall multicolored, mainly red vase glows green where the glass is clear (mostly, vertically where the swung ribs are). The blue one immediately to the right and down, with the indentation in the center and protruding neck top clearly glows uranium green as well. And finally and surprisingly the little gray silver optic vase to the right again glows extremely potent uranium green. The bird and the bunny have a uranium green hue to them when subjected to uv blacklight blue as well. Perhaps I should've included photos of that too. I have a difficult time calling certain glass vaseline glass as there's such a conflict of definitions around the world. I feel that Vaseline glass kinda looks like Vaseline and would fall as a type of uranium glass..... I suppose.?
Being new at this, it's just an observation of readings and research not a statement of Field wisdom and experience which I give much respect toward. ;)
Hi Solar, nice group.
The tall multicoloured vase that has some glow is most likely Murano.
I think the yellow vase with the frilled rim is Italian, although not necessarily Murano, possibly Florentine.
It is difficult to tell immediately what is what with a group shot like this. For a better chance at ID I suggest you make individual posts with multiple photos. Front view, side and back view (if different), and a good one of the base.
Thank you racer4four, my thoughts on the tall multicolored vase was similar, I'll check on the yellow... it has a sunshine like impression with somthing in the center of what kinda looks like a setting sun with rays. The others... idk. I'm a little hopeful of the small optic gray and the animals which all glow. I'll post some more shots soon as I've been unable to get to it.
