Question How much are these venetian red ballon drinking cups worth?

Hello!
I own 8 cups like these.
They were purchased 30 years ago at Murano, Italy!
They are hand made, hand painted with drawings of flowers and covered in gold paint.
How much is each cup worth?
Thank you!

Hi. Welcome to the forums! This type of work is commonly referred to Smalto, which referrs to the enamelling process. These are commonly found, limiting thier value. Typically they come as a set, sometimes with a decanter. I think a ballpark value would be in the $100 range. I added the "smalto" tag to the bottom of this thread, so you can see other examples as well.

Hello! Please tell me how to differentiate Venetian glass with gold and enamel flowers from Bohemian? In my opinion they are absolutely identical.
with respect, Yulia
