Should you keep the original stickers on a Murano vase?
I'm not sure if this is more a decor or an art question, but I thought I'd ask here first. I have recently purchased some Murano glass art vases. Some have original stickers indicating they were made in Murano or Italy, or giving the maker's name. Do I take these off or keep them on? For resale I know it's better to have these on to prove that they are actually Murano glass and made in Italy. But for display purposes, wouldn't it be odd to keep them on? Does removing the stickers detract from the value of the pieces significantly? These are vintage or used pieces already, all of which are in good condition and considered collectible. Any thoughts would be helpful. Also, any suggestions on how to display them or what textures and other decor complement art glass? Thanks!
Murano is not a collectible in the sense that you need to have a sticker state that it is Murano or even the factory name. Anyone who knows and values glass will know a Murano piece. The glass is only made in Murano and there are only a few places that make it. It is a more costly glass to buy but so is Waterford and many Scandinavian glass makers. But you wouldn't keep their tags on them. None of the pieces are numbered or dated. They are merely more expensive pieces to buy and I certainly wouldn't want to give them to Goodwill if I didn't care for them any longer. If you were to sell them you could only sell to someone who appreciates quality glass or appreciates the look. I use all my glass as opposed to just decorate with it as I don't like the museum look in my home. But if you wish to do so, put them in a lighted glass cabinet. Glass only looks exceptional when it is on glass and lit up.
