Debby,
Your additional photos are excellent but I'm afraid I'm still drawing a blank with the name - I've checked it and multiple variations against makers recorded as working in Murano in 1998 - and have even run it through AI - but am not finding any names that come close to what it looks like - the closest was Salviati Scattin, a known name in Murano glass production...but I'm pretty sure you'd agree that the first letter of the last name is NOT an "S".
That said, I've valued this based on comparisons with other multi-fish sculptures.
You're all set with this appraisal unless you have questions.
Have a great day, and thank you again for using Mearto.

You have requested additional photos of my fish statue. Here are some attached. I also have scoured the web looking for the same type of statue the most I have seen is two fish. I’m looking forward to your appraisal. Thank you, Debby
