Topic: HELP - a hoard of glassware. ID = Murano

[Ruralcouple]

Hi all,
I'm new to this site so will give a bit of background; my husband has carried out house clearances for some time and we have generally hoarded the items, he has recently been going through a period of ill health so we are going through the items to try and identify what we have, we are quite ignorant to the world of glassware and art so any information you can give us will be much appreciated.  I have several items to post and will start with a few 'wacky' ones:
Clown - 285mm high 1088g weight.  Left foot previously repaired. Left ear chipped.  I have attached some photos.. Thank you

100% Murano on this one

And, very sadly, with the damage, not likely to help you financially in any way.
Damage to glass is pretty much it's death-knell.
Some very desirable things will sell, as they still display well, but at vastly lower prices than without damage.

Such a shame ... we have about 3 damaged pieces...

Put the damage to the back and just enjoy what's left.
