Hello Laura,
I’m very glad that you chose Mearto for your online appraisal,
Considering the photographs, overall pattern, glass quality and the colours, I concluded that this is an Entirely Hand Blown Set of Christmas Ornaments Made of Murano Glass. The set is made in Murano by the famous atelier known as Ferro & Lazzarini. The set dates back to the period from 1970 to 1990. The general decoration of the items are characterized with the usual Christmas coloure palette composed of green and red with a Muranese addition of golden flakes. The pieces were hand made and several were labeled with the triangular label of the Ferro & Lazzarini Atelier. The label is modernised, hence the pieces might have been purchased later than 1977. The set is composed of a total 125 pieces. This size is referred as a collection rather than a set. The collection is composed of following pieces:
12 Globes 3.5 Inches of Diameter, 19 Globes 2.5 Inches of Diameter, 16 Bells 3 Inches of Diameter, 18 Discs 3 Inches of Diameter, 8 Lemon Sphere 4.5 Inches of Diameter, 12 Elipctic Sphere 3 Inches of Diameter, 16 Teardrops 2.75 Inches of Diameter, 24 Globes 3 Inches of Diameter.
All piece are decorated with three colour including the golden flakes except for the last 24 spheres which were only red and green. The set is very unique in terms of quantity, there are very few collection composing these many Murano Glass ornaments. Generally the quality is good but not high-end. The pieces of the collection are in good condition without visible problems.
