Dear Teri,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The apprised object is a small-sized glass figurine with the measurements of 12 inches long. The figurine depicts a dachshund and was made out of colored and white glass. this piece was probably made in Lauscha Germany and not in Northern Italy. Because of the lovely motif and the modern technique in the field of glass art this piece could be made anywhere on this planet in the last third of the 20th century.
This piece is in medium condition and the tail is damaged.
An estimation would be between 80 to 150 USD.
This estimation is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.

With best regards,
Georg
