Hi Diane,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

These are vintage Murano glass lamps with green and blue spiral decoration, which is a technique called "filigrana", which uses glass rods called "canne" that are then incorporated into the surface of a blown object. Many different Murano makers employed the filigrana technique so it's hard to attribute it to a specific workshop.

The online website Chairish features a very similar blown glass lamp they're attributing to the company Empoli (https://www.chairish.com/product/1068985/murano-glass-lamp-with-ribbon-swirl) but I can't find a Murano workshop by that name so I'd be cautious attributing this to Empoli.

When these lamps come to the retail market, sellers are currently asking prices ranging from $600 to $2,000 per lamp but I am not finding auction results (what Mearto bases our appraisals on) for nearly this much, typically $150-250 per lamp, or $400-600 for the pair.

If you're looking to sell this pair, I would ask up to $1,500 for this if they are in good working condition.

Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:

Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, or questions/concerns, and thank you again for using Mearto.
