    Elio Rafaelli Swans Reversed Side.jpeg Elio Rafaelli Swans.jpeg Elio Rafaelli Swans Signature.jpeg Pair of Pink Vtg Murano Glass Swans Signed by Elio Raffaeli. Believe circa 1960s. Excellent condition. Beautiful color. They bring a smile to the face -- something just very peaceful about them. :) Appreciate any assistance on possible value? Or further history. Thanks!

    They are gorgeous! They bring a smile to my face as well!

    Go back and edit the photos to "Full Image" so people can see them more easily. :)

    There are a number of these in different colors on Ebay for several hundred dollars, but all unsold, so hard to pin down a value. I think value depends on which colors are the most popular, and also the size. Maybe with some research you could find a sold pair online.

    Thanks! I did some online research but couldn't find this specific color of pink, seems a bit more rare, but not sure. I will keep digging. Thank you!!

    I should probably qualify that a bit.
    Quite a few times I have seen something sold on ebay with best offer, and then the same listing on worthpoint shows it sold at full price. Has it always been so, and is it always so, I can't say.

    Also on ebay, you can't see what the offer price was, as far as I know, but you can at least see that it sold for less then listed price. You used to be able to sort sold listings from high to low, and the actual sold price for a best offer sale would set its placement in the sorted list, but last I checked it doesn't do that anymore, just has it at the list price.
    If anyone knows how to find the actual sold price on a best offer sale, I'd love to know.

    I used to use flipper tools but it's been taken down for some time now. Googling came up with this site and it seems to work but says it only goes back 90 days.

    Terapeak on eBay will show you the actual price selling price.

    I did check it last night & as @Lucille.b said earlier there are several pairs listed right now but none are showing as sold.

    They are gorgeous BTW!!
