Author Topic: Help with Murano Ashtray (Read 1082 times)

Hi,

I would like to find out the approximate value of a Murano ashtray I have. It still has the label attached which has "Hand Painted, Murano, Venezia" on it. The ashtray is approximatly 5" wide and is clear glass with multicolored (blue, green, turquoise, yellow, red , fuschia) accents. There is wording in the bottom that appears to say "Italy 25". I do not know anything about glass so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know the value but this site does have similar things on it.

I'm not sure if these pieces are brand new or not.
