In 1964 I bought several pieces on Murano Island--thus, I am sure they are authentic. I now want to sell them. I have read your Terms and Conditions and still don't understand what I would pay for an appraisal. Please explain the cost of appraisals and then if you buy pieces. [email protected] Thank you, Judy Payne
I bought them at the factory/store on Murano Island in 1964 and had them shipped to my home in Iowa, US. As I explained above, some items were broken in transit, and I received replacement shipments from the factory/store.
