Dear Timothy,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. So that I may best assist you, can you please upload a few better images of the signature. Sadly this detail is blurred.
With kind regards,
Georg
Dear Timothy,
Thank you for the additional images and your patience. The presented object is a glass sculpture with the measurements of 36 inches height. The glass sculpture depicts a couple standing in front of each other. This piece is signed and dated with "88" or "98". The signature is difficult to decipher. Most probably it should be read as "Rossi". This leads to the Murano glass artist Alfredo Rossi who was active in this period and mainly created sculptures depicting bodies and figures.
This piece is in good condition and there are no serious damages visible.
An estimation would be between 300 to 600 USD.
This estimation is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.
With kind regards,
Georg
I will mount more of what I have. The signature is hard to photograph and I have been stumped by it as well; searching quite wide myself. I will try to rephotograph if these additional photos aren't enough help.
