    Hi to all,

    Just wondering if any one can help me out here.

    I have these Murano glasses. They came from my grand mother who was married to an Italian . I do not know when they were acquired but I figure anywhere between 40 -70 years ago.

    Just wondering if someone could possibly point me to a place where I can have them appraised or if someone knows an approximate value range please or if they are considered desirable by their appearance.

    There are no markings on them . There are 5 red ones and 6 blue ones. One red one broke.

    Hope I am not breaking any rules of the forum.

    Thank you so much for any help .

    These were made in both Italy and also Czechoslovakia. The flower styles can be a pointer to which country. They were sold widely as tourist souvenirs, from the fifties on. Very pretty things, but not much value sadly.

    I've run into plenty of these. Alas never managed to sell any.

    My family bought a set of similar one when we visited Italy in the early 80's or maybe the late 70's.
