    Looking for information on this set. One piece is signed "COMAN". So, I know it is done by Misu Coman, a Romanian glass artist. I just looking for more information about these pieces and possible date or if he did sets.

    This is from the Real or Repro site. It should answer you question about age of his work

    "Coman, born in 1961 in Buzau, Romania, studied at the Bucharest Academy of Fine Art. He opened his first studio in 1990. According to promotional literature, each piece of glass is personally designed and blown by the artist. The artist asserts that all his work is signed, the most common mark being "Coman Design" engraved on the base or sometimes on the side. Any piece with this mark cannot date before 1990 at the earliest. His work is primarily abstract shapes in bright colors. Most, but not all, pieces have some type of applied decorations in contrasting colors. Some work has been offered, either through ignorance or deliberate misrepresentation, as pre-1939 Czech and 1950s Murano.

    Although the artist does have better individual works in galleries, most pieces in online auctions and web sites are common inexpensive production models that sold for $20 to $50 (USD). Both examples shown on this page were offered for under $40 retail.

    Yup saw that site too. Just wanting to know more about this style of pieces that he did that aren't so abstract. Also wanting to know if it was a set, did he usually just sign one piece or all?
