Hi, it took a while to get some more pics and all, when i went back to look i was worried this one was made by C Toffolo but upon closer inspection it is not perfect, the foot is not perfect circle and the top is almost perfect, round everything right the connection point, shape, unless i made it close to perfect the top must have been made by a true master, but then I dont see how it got on my trumpet foot? Unless this was my best getting lucky after so much practice making them for two days, they kept getting better and better. I left three in murano with freinds i met. now I have a good thing to show people at demos its big, you put it together right infront of them, and you dont need a kiln right away, the flaring out of the cup part is also good for the demo. hope this other picture helps, miigwetch jes
