How much do items from Mtarfa glass cost?

Prices at Mtarfa Glassblowers cover a wide range. Small Mtarfa glass items such as paperweights or mini vases often cost between €15 and €40. Mid-sized bowls and decorative pieces tend to fall within €50 to €150. Larger statement vases or sculptural works can reach €200 to €400, depending on size and detail. Limited pieces or custom orders may exceed these figures. Pricing reflects factors such as time spent on each item, complexity of design, and colour work. Handmade production leads to higher costs compared with factory glass. Tourists make up a large share of buyers, though local customers and collectors contribute steady demand. Over the past decade, prices have risen gradually, in line with energy costs and raw materials. Some early pieces from the 1990s now appear in resale markets at double their original price, showing how demand for Maltese glass has held firm.
