Found this item at a Flea Market and paid less than $20. I think it is a Murano Controlled Bubble vase? I added more pictures.

Are any of them marked, signed, labelled in any way that suggests Murano?
Bullicante is the term for controlled bubble. Sadly the Chinese do excellent copies of all Italian glass, even making Murano labels! There is a Murano collectors group on Facebook.
I don't see any marking but I am not sure where to look
GeodeJem, great info! It's nice to know proper terms, thanks. And sadly, you are so right about the copies and who's making them!
If an item has many Murano stuck on labels its not Murano. But if an item is beautifull to you and you aint gonna sell it on. Does it really matter who made it.
I have a Chinese copy of a huge Murano type chicken but to me its awesome!
There are no labels on any of them
Welcome to CW:)
At least its a real nice display of controlled bubbles. Pairpont used to make the round ones very beautiful for small lamps/ love the shape of yours and heart is unusual !~
Sorry meant pairpoint, typo
Thanks everyone.
This had no labels and no signature that I can find. If it is a copy then it is really good one. And it weighs a ton, if worse comes to worse I can use it as a weapon, lol. Kidding.
I have a similar one of these am going away for a few days, but when I get back I'll post it. No labels on mine, but I am almost certain by the quality and color it is a Murano! Beautiful, both our pieces.
