Hi, weeksy. The clown heads are commonly seen on eBay, so their values are heavily weighted by what they get there. I checked the values on eBay and the range was very large: $90-280. Most of the ones I found went for $100-150 in mint condition. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your reply, I did actually check the USA ebay so your right the price range is a wide margin also the USA market is flooded with quality barbini/seguso/venini and not just average pieces either yr lucky in the USA as there are far more outstanding pieces than in the UK where im from, I started collecting murano clowns in 2010 and began learning about them and started my website in 2011 but as we only get a few seguso/venini through ebay every year then its hard to judge prices sometomes in the uk market the barbini clown paperweights although kind of flood the USA ebay barbini are rarely seen on the uk ebay, with that in mind do you have any further thoughts price wise????
like I said im only new to this my website has only been going for 1year and I am learning all the time always looking for new information and advice with my website but as barbini clowns paperweights are rarely seen on uk ebay I still find myself a little stook for a price for the UK ebay market due to the far more rarety of these pieces in the UK do you think a price of £175.00 to £200.00 GBP is about right???
I very much appriciate yr thoughts and yr kind help

if anyone else has a view on these pieces in the UK market with a view to a price for my website not to sell on ebay then please share your thoughts with me

my website for interest purpose is wwwmuranoglassclowns.co.uk


Thanx again Craig,,,,,
