Everyone says this is AV Mazzega, but so far I can’t find any evidence for it.

An e-mail to AV Mazzega gave this as an answer: (translated from Italian to English) “I do not exclude they may be our lamps but I can not even give you the certainty. They are lamps that date back to many years ago where a management or photographic samples was not used.
I’m sorry I can not help you with other data but in our technical department I could not find anything that could bring back to these lamps.” 

An American guy on Facebook said to me, unfortunately without proof, that his chandelier with round globes is labelled with an AV Mazzega label. I asked him for a photo of it, but he never answered me again.

Over the years several lamps appeared with an AV Mazzega label, all with similar globes. Chandeliers, table lamps and so on. Changing labels or printing a label yourself is all done quickly these days.

Often said that these lamps are a Toni Zuccheri design, they are not. Zuccheri never worked for AV Mazzega, as the company confirmed.

Conclusion

But honestly, if you think about it, there are simply far too many of them to consider them artisan Murano lamps. These are mass-produced lamps. Possibly made by multiple anonymous manufacturers, which is common practice, both then and now. And then sold by giants like Massive from Belgium, which sold large numbers of lamps throughout Europe.
