Hi Marianne,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Vetri Murano is the glass studio most usually associated with these swirl glass pendant lamps, which usually dated to the 1970s and demonstrated the beauty and sophistication of the period.
Most dealers who sell these price them in the range of $500-700 depending on size but on the secondary (auction) market, these bring a bit less, typically half those values: $250-350.
