    I bought this glass shell a few days ago. I am very happy with the piece. However I find it difficult to know wether it's an authentic Murano shell or not. I have not yet seen a Murano shell bowl with this particular mix of colors.
    What do you think?

      Nice to have a label but you just have the same murano piece but they just made them in different colours. Purple is a nice colour !~
