Handpainted mythological figures - Murano?

[johnnysilver]

Hello,
I've certainly enjoyed reading the discussion forum. Since I'm not very knowledgeable about glassware, I'd like to ask for your help. I've been asked to sell this beautiful 22 piece matching collection from a 4th generation prominent family. The owner told me it was Venetian glass from the turn of the century.
The set consists of: 12 goblets - 2 compotes - 1 large bowl for flowers with matching frog and 2 candlelabra with 2 candle holders each - 4 tops/stoppers for each candle. It's absolutely gorgeous and flawless except for one top (very tip is broken off) Fantastic hand-painted enamel mythological figures surround each piece. The frogs and the tops look like Murano.
Could anyone give me information about origin? age? price? I certainly would appreciate it. Thank you.

Wow, that is a gorgeous set! I don't have much to contribute, but it is wonderful. I believe Salviati has made some enamelled pieces in the past, but im just making an educated guess.

Wow! You have a breath-taking set. The set appears to be a joint effort of Moser (Bohemian) and Salviati (Venetian). The dot pattern of the compotes and goblets are similar to other Venetian style pieces that Moser has done, so I do suspect Moser did the enamel and gold decorations. Moser and Salviati often worked together around the turn of the century. Some of the Venetian style pieces are found in both Salviati and Moser catalogs.

The frog and stopper look like Salviati. I have an old Salviati scent bottle that has a stopper with similar leaves and flowers as your stopper. So... your glass was probably marketed by Salviati.

If I were selling it, I would check with a Moser expert to see if Moser decorated the glass, then sell it as Moser/Salviati if the attribution is correct. Now how much is it worth... Gosh! That is a tough one. In what market do you plan to sell? Prices vary widely depending on the market.
