I do have a third piece that seems you might of missed. It was listed the same time of the Flamenco pair. I have an appraisal on the second one. The third one is a Murano Glass blackamoor candle holder, kneeling with a cream color skirt. I used my third credit on that piece. Unless, my question to you is the Flamenco dancer pair, is that considered one credit or two? I had used one credit for the Flamenco pair and you appraised that and one credit for the single standing blackamoor candle holder. So then I used the final third credit on this murano glass blackamoor kneeling piece which I have not seen an appraisal for yet. Regards Tony
Hi Tony,
It looks like there was refund for the kneeling double-light candlestick. There was another appraiser who has also been working on your Murano figures - I can't see which ones they have or haven't finished but let me know if you'd like me to ask our customer support to review your account.
