Hi Pup, Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. The values Mearto provides are fair-market, for auction purposes. While Zanetti's works retail for quite a bit of money, his pieces have not yet developed enough of a following at auction to bring similarly high prices. While I might expect to have to pay well over $1,000 for this in a gallery, at auction it would be unlikely to sell for more than $500. Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is: An Oscar Zanetti handblown figural sculpture made in Murano, Italy, late 20th/early 21st Century Two abstracted figures facing each other, on a black plinth signed Zanetti Oscar 20 inches high 11 inches wide, 8 inches deep CONDITION: not examined in person but appears to be in excellent condition PROVENANCE: acquired from an Italian gallery $300-500* *represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary. Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, and thank you again for using Mearto.
