I am seeking an expert evaluation of a unique Murano glass sculpture that I purchased in Venice in 1998. The piece is a solid cast glass head, signed by Pino Signoretto, weighing approximately 8kg. It has a distinct oval form with a stylized human face, and I believe it may be a studio or exhibition work. Immaculate condition.
Dimensions: 240mm x 210mm x 120mm
Hi Mark,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
I have more than 20 years appraising and selling Murano glass at auction, so this is definitely within my wheelhouse. The signature on this looks to me like it reads "Lino" rather than "Pino", both of whom were noteworthy glass artisans in Murano. Do you have any documentation from the gallery you acquired this from to confirm which one did this?
Thanks to confirm, at your convenience,
Delia
