Have had these for a very long time. Bought the green one in a little out of the way shop in NC. Think the other was from Fla. They are very similarly striped, one being green and white and clear and the other pink and white and clear. The bottoms have rigaree with gold inclusions, rough pontils, and one has a sticker with Golden Crown, E&R Italy. Green is 4.5" x 5" at it's widest. The green one is 4.5" x 5.25". Thanks for looking!
The Golden Crown E & R label has always been a mystery as it pertains to Italian glass. The label (with the country of origin on the bottom), can be found on items manufactured in Austria, France, West Germany, Italy, England, Sweden and others. From what I understand they were importers/exporters of various forms of glass, porcelain, crystal, china etc. I've seen the "Italy" version of the label affixed to Italian glass, but the question has always been where in Italy - Murano, other parts of Italy or Venice.
This time I am going with Murano, because it has a few of the earmarks. Rigaree on the bottom, gold infusion, rough pontil. I could also be wrong! I thank you for the education, it is always appreciated! Thank you also to Brunswick.
Beautiful pieces ....... I have one too
