The plate has never been used so is in perfect condition, I do have doubts but I also have the feeling that it could be real Murano. The plate comes off the legs, the legs are ruby glass and the plate is very ornate with ruby glass included.
Dimensions
The plate is exactly 25 cm in diameter and the legs are 8 cm high

Inherited
Hi Jacob, Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. While the ruby colored glass is a good match to each other, the cake plate doesn't look Murano to me but the footed stand does, suggesting these may not have "started life out together," as we say in the trade. Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is: A ruby and clear pressed glass cake plate on a probably later hand-blown ruby glass footed stand Plate American or European, late 19th/early 20th Century Stand from Vetreria Murano, Italy, mid 20th Century The circular plate with undulating ruby notched rim centering eight ruby lozenges to the sides and a rayed pattern to the base. The circular-section foot with hatched patterning and three downscrolling feet. Together with Vetreria Murano card. cake plate 25 cm (9-3/4 inches) diameter; footed stand 8 cm (3-1/8 inches) high CONDITION: Both appear to be in very good condition PROVENANCE: Inherited AUD $200-300 for the plate and stand together* *represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.
