I paid over US$2000 for a set of one glass vase, 5 glasses and 1 mirror tray, in a violet color that changes to blue under certain light. It has gold trim & elaborate floral designs, and the artist signed on it and came with a "Certificato di Garanzia" card. It's a company called CAM Vetri D'arte srl. Seemed pretty ligit. But saw other glasses in small store go for much less. Just wondering if I got ripped off?

Murano glass is pricey...I think you got a fair deal. Many items sold in the US are larger production items. If you have gold trim to the glass that alone raises the value...it is difficult to introduce gold. Also, different artist bring in different values, even though they work for the same company. Most pieces i've seen here start at about $300.00 and up. The floral pieces alone fetch a higher ticket compared to the more abstract. Worry not, it sounds like you aquired some great works. Enjoy them and display them prominantly.

I don't think you did, real Murano pieces are very expensive and it came with an authenticity card. certificato di garanzia, warranty certificate, so it is 100% good, the others might not be authentic, there are lots of pieces every where, in Europe that are very similar, but not authentic and go for less.
I think you got a good deal. I was going to buy a ring and it's $ 560.00 no where near as much material, at a Lalique store, in Los Angeles, so I think you did okay.

Venice is close to the island of Murano the place murano glass is made, and in case you extremely had to circulate directly to the source of murano glass, you ought to head to the island with in user-friendly terms a ten to fifteen minute boat holiday (water ferry). it may additionally be low fee getting the glass there because of the fact that the charges in Venice are greater high priced because of the inflow of holiday makers. reckoning on the familiar and variety of glass which you extremely want, expenses will variety for that reason-everywhere from 10 euro to numerous hundred euros. happy procuring.

You might check eBay which is a good source of determing the price/value-Be prepared to be shocked though as I have found prices set/bid to be much less than the supposed real value of the item to be. Key word here 'supposed".
