Murano glass is very popular and is the most collected glass product in the world. With its striking colors and shapes, it stands out from the crowd, and because of the handwork, no two pieces are completely alike. Still, there are differences when it comes to collector value. Vases made after 1975 are not a good value investment. They are too similar and there are comparatively many of them made. While some of these items may not survive the next few years (even Murano glass is fragile), it is unlikely that they will increase in value very much.
It is different with real unique pieces or original antique Murano glass especially those from 1920 to 1960. There is a brisk and enthusiasts pay high prices for these.
