Glass fish from island of Murano was gift of Thanks from Dementia Action Alliance to me.
THANK you for the gift.
While living in Italy i had an older friend on island of Murano; an exceptional glass artist named Tino Gobbato.
i always enjoyed our conversations — and the wonderful glass creations in various stages of completion.
His “Baroque Chandelier” hangs over the antique table i inherited, and right now, the Murano fish sits on that table.

Thank you !
