Dear Anthony, Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. My sincere apologies for the delay with the appraisal. The presented object appears to be a pair of candle holders made from Murano glass with 11 inches in height. These candle holders depict the old Venice motif of the blackamoor candle holders. They could be assigned to the workshop of Barovier & Toso. Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market. This piece is in good condition and no severe damage is visible in the images provided. A fair market estimation would be between 700 to 1500 USD. This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary. With kind regards, Gregory
