I'll jump in with both feel -- no need to dance about. It is one of the tricky labels used on Chinese glass to make people think they are buying Murano. We see this label on eBay a lot.

Thanks Anita,

Should something like this be sold as "murano style", is there any value it such a piece?...

Many sellers don't know the difference, and others do know, but aren't saying. I looked around and found a few pieces with the label like yours and others that have the Primrose label. The pieces I've seen are the same between the two labels, so it looks like it is the same company with slightly different labels. I've also seen the Primrose pieces with Chinese labels, so I think they are all Chinese. The retail value of some of the things is high, so they aren't throwaway. But they don't have collector value now.
