    I am a Borsato collector and have several of their catalogs. However, not every piece is shown in every brochure. I have a particular piece that I could never identify. Lo and behold the piece was listed in this catalog. Great seller, excellent price, good communication and delivery time. Thanks again for helping me locate and identifying this elusive piece.
