Thanks Kalee for killing the myth and explaining why.
Went to Venice a few years ago and to Murano to see the glass made there. Fantastic pieces at huge prices but I expect the work is long and breakage high. Best was a flat sided bowl, like an open shopping basket about 12 to 15 inches long, in a white cloudy glass. It had then been overlaid with chocolate brown ribs of glass, say 6 mm across that were at an angle to the bowl and spaced about 25mm apart. Then the handle was made as a twisted rope of the white and brown glass. Think it was E500 for cash !!
