Hi Melissa,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Rubelli Murano refers to the exquisite glass creations associated with the iconic Rubelli brand and the renowned Murano glass tradition from Venice, Italy. While primarily known for textiles, Rubelli collaborates with artisans and designers to extend its artistic vision to other areas, including glass art and furniture.
Rubelli pieces of this size from the late 20th Century - including this example - typically sell at auction for less than $300; the broken ear will, unfortunately, diminish its value, now to less than $200.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
