Price range suggestion please? "Not much value" is relative.

[ahremck]

Sorry, Carlo I am not a dealer and even if I were the values here in Australia will be wildly different to yours.  As a policy GMB members are discouraged from giving values precisely because it is such a personal thing.  I would suggest you find similar items for sale on Ebay.  Search words might include - Murano, latticino, paperweight & zanfirico(the proper name for what is commonly called latticino).

Search terms can also include "crown" as that is what the design is often called. Many crown weights have one or more canes covering the loose ends at the top; many, like this one, do not.

Many Murano makers probably made weights like this but they are hard to tell apart without at least a label.

Current prices on eBay seem to range from around US$20 to US$80.
