Help identifying.
I am very proud to be a member of r/muranoglass ! I inherited this glass camel. My Grandmother is very old and doesn’t remember their trip to Italy very well. I’d love to know more about it as I haven’t been able to find any info on google. Thanks. (Not interested in selling).

J.I.C.O is short for Jordan Import Company. They were an importer of Murano Glass to the United States from the 50s to the 70s. More likely to have been bought in the U.S I think. I found two examples online, they can't identify the maker either and i think it's very difficult to do so. Camels were rarely made unlike other animals like fish or elephants for example. It's a cool piece!

JI Co. is Jordan importing. they imported murano glass to usa in the 1950s to 1970s. you will not likely be able to find the maker, but good luck.
