I would consider this as a good generic murano glass. Too typical "evergreen" production and many craftmen worked and work in this style. Also I'm not able to identify a specific "touch"/"hand".

Thank you for all interest, what of the price, and are the two objects from the same artist?

There are not many details to compare... the only part that we can compare is the base. As first impression, they look as made by the same hands. The base looks a little bit heavy and tick (at least for this kind of glassworks). Also the gold leaf is probably of the same thickness (there are different kinds of gold leaf available here). At the same time, also due to not a very peculiar "touch", I have to say that there are many master glassmakers able to make two pieces like them and with very similar details.
Anyway I think that they can be displayed toghether very well.
