A glass studio piece by Stefano Toso. Purchased in Gallery in Key West Florida in 2001. Looks like the inscription reads "S. Toso - omaggio a Christian R Lassen" on the marble plinth - not sure if this Atlantis Gallery had a relationship with the Lassen Gallery. Piece is about 20" long - its very large and in excellent condition. Using a lot of Murano techniques - sommerso, bullicante. Curious to know anything about the piece itself and resale value. We always thought it was meant to be a squid - but it looks like the artist meant for it to be a comet...Its attached to the granite plinth underneath, and that is where the inscription is located. Plinth measures about 8X11.

Its about 20 inches long
