Is this Murano? Any info would be gratefully received.
It's approx 5" high x 6" diameter
Thank you

I'm going to sell it, what do you think it might be worth?

Hi and welcome to the board!
This is rather an exceptional thing, I know nothing about Murano, but even I can see this is special.
I'm afraid we do not really tend to discuss values - they are far too subjective. Something is only worth what somebody is willing to pay for it, in that place, at that time.
Having said that, putting this into an auction with a world-wide audience, would lead to it finding its own value.
Folk will be fighting for it.

I quite understand. My in-laws died recently and we have 70 years worth of collecting that needs new homes, which is rather daunting.
Every cupboard seemed to be stuffed!

Well you've come to the right place for glass. I'm sure somebody who does know about Murano will be able to help you far more than I can.
The photos you are showing us are really good, thank-you for taking so much time and trouble to take such good images, and for posting them directly to the board. This means we will have a lovely record of your pieces and their identities, (when they come - we don't give up here) for posterity.
I'm sorry to hear of your loss. But you never know - you might find some enthusiasm for collecting yourself as you start investigating everything you've been left.
That's what happened to me anyway.

The only problem is I am trying to de-clutter, but have kept some lovely studio glass

I like Studio glass myself - that's my sort of area.

The problem with de-cluttering is that more clutter just takes up the space you have created. Best to just fill all the spaces with glass, with no room left for everyday clutter.
