Also natahoa, I said "Oven Ready" , I meant "Oven Ware". That simply means the large bowl cannot be subjected to heat. Hope this helps... thanks again for stopping by.
Ha,ha,haaaa... I'm laughing because believe me,I truly understand what you're saying. When I was younger I was hooked on any type of reflective material, especially chrome. Chrome coffee table, end tables, curio cabinets, etge, etc. It was chrome, chrome and more chrome... Man am I glad I got over that,,, ha,ha,haaaa.
I was an ebay seller for a few years and bought all my stock at a local auction. I love the Murano glass ashtrays, but they weren't worth enough to fool around with on ebay so I kept them. Of all the antiques and collectibles I sold on ebay (including some really nice ones) those Murano pieces were the only thing I kept. So I have a small collection I display on a lighted shelf in my house and I love them!
The problem with collections is that they can get out of hand VERY quickly. If you can't display and enjoy them, it's kinda nutsy to keep collecting them ... but we all fall into THAT trap ... LOL.
