muranoI was shopping at a flea market recently when I saw a table full of "Murano Glass" pendants.  I looked at them and wondered if they were real, because the price was very cheap.  I have done research on the glass in the past for my articles, and know that it is made in Italy and is very beautiful.  These pieces did not look special at all.  Here is how one can tell if it is real or imitation.  One thing is that it is made in Italy, it's the first thing I look for, because all Murano glass is made in Italy.  Another way to tell, is if there are more than one piece in the same style.  All genuine items will be one of a kind if they are Murano glass, meaning there are never two pieces exactly the same.  They are made by hand so it's impossible to get mass produced glass from there.  Sellers online and in local places will try to market their items as being true Italian glass, but many of them are just fake glass that was mass produced in China and buyers need to be aware.
