Hello Andrew, I’m very glad that you chose Mearto for your online appraisal, Considering the photographs, overall pattern, glass quality and the colours, I concluded that this is an Entirely Hand Blown Original Murano Glass Artwork, Sculpture made by the well known Venetian Glass Artist Pino Signoretto. The piece dates back to the period between 1998-2000. The piece was directly purchased from the artist's atelier in the island of Murano, Italy. The piece is composed of three male faces positioned on each other in different colour of Scavo Glass. The piece has a transparent base framed with a black layer of glass. The piece is quite large, Signoretto's real life size pieces are highly sought after and usually have a tendency of breaking the expected price range in auctions. The heds have a very sharp but neat looking finish on their back, meaning that the piece was designed for a single facade mainly. The model face used for these representations was likely an over-weight model based on the appearance of the faces but it is not known if the artist used a specific model or not. The piece is in good condidition without visible problems. A unique piece, I would expect it to reach more than my estimate but this is the more reliable data from the past auctions.
