    To spot Chinese fake Murano glass, use a magnifying glass to examine its surface. Murano glass is handmade, so you can expect to see small imperfections, such as bubbles and irregularly shaped edges. Replicas produced overseas are machine-made and tend to be more uniform. As you study your piece, you should be able to detect multiple layers of glass on an authentic Murano, but a replica will often be composed of a single, thick piece of glass. Finally, check the maker's mark and compare it to images of the signatures found on authentic pieces produced by that workshop, artisan or factory. Alternatively, you can have a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer evaluate your item. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Murano glass.
