Fratelli Toso decanters



UNKNOWN DECANTERS

The following section is an ongoing debate for me so if anyone has any input it would be much appreciated.  From what I can tell, these types of decanters were made by Murano however many of them (like the one below) were copied.  From photographs alone it is hard to differentiate the real Murano pieces from the copies.

From my research, this particular type of clown seems to have been made by the Japanese company Tilso (circa. 50s & 60s)

This particular pieces has the following label which reads DAYSUN FOREIGN.

I have also seen them with the Andrea Glass (Japan) label.



The following clowns appear to me to be better made and are far heavier pieces that those above, however they do have the same heads as the Tilso clowns.  Who made them??  I've had a few suggestions ranging from Seguso to china!!  I'm not sure we'll ever know for sure!  My thinking is often swayed but my own personal opinion is that they are Murano pieces.
