I'd love to see a picture of your scavo with prunts if you get a chance. Quick snapshot attached. Are those nude boys? Not something one sees often in home decor.
Yup, they're very much 'in the buff'. I'm probably too used to Danish design, where male nudity is as common as female nudity, so it didn't even click that a bit of meat and two veg might be a bit peculiar for domestic interior design.  |

... and [ahem] quite well hung they are, too.  I guess the nude female form is so ubiquitous we barely blink. My kids were embarrassed though - the eldest actually made little dresses for some of my glass figures.  |

David, I have just purchased the Archimede Seguso book. Wont arrive till early October >:( and if only the SVdA book was out it might help shed some light on the situation. I have some SVdA glasses that have the white square SVdA label on them which are from the late 30's/early 40's. With Archimede being the glass blower up until 1942 at SVdA, maybe the the other 2 pieces are from around the time he left and the label transition? Just a thought. I don't think the pieces are suspect or fake and I believe all the pieces were made by Archimede Seguso. I have some pictures some where so I might put them up so we don't hijack Nic's thread. In the interim I have left these pieces as research for later once I have more information available. I have seen the SVdA website and hopefully one of the family members will get around to doing a thorough history on the company in the future would be extremely helpful for us SVdA buffs.  Ladies...keep it clean!!!  |

Kane:
Which Archimede book did you buy? I keep looking for the SVdA book to come out as it would fill a big hole in my knowledge. What I don't understand is that someone on the GMB said some years ago that they had seen an advance copy from Ardnoldische, and yet nothing more has appeared.
I'd love to see pictures of your glasses when you get a chance.
David

I got the Lace & Stone book as I am buying the cheaper books first. I am buying 1 glass book a month to get more reference resources. Not sure of the content but any help on his pieces is going to be great. I just hope the book has some detailed information on his history, especially before the 50's but I assume because it is a Pina book it would be concentrating on the 50's?! I would love to see my glasses as well. Oddly, I have not even unwrapped them since I purchased them . Probably because I have been to busy getting the glass I have to sell together. I haven't had the time to admire there beauty yet . The SVdA book is listed on Amazon as 'Out Of Print - Limited Availability'. Was it even printed? I have never seen or heard of a copy in existence. It must be a myth! |

It has several publication dates listed on the internet: March 2004, Jan 2005, Jan 2006 - and Dec 2010.
Its ISBN, which looks to be the same all the way through, is only 10 digits, (3897901625), which means it was assigned prior to 2007. Either it was published in very small numbers each time, or the publication has been beset with problems, such as clearing copyright on images and newer catalogues, which have shifted the release several times.

I agree Pain. I wish this book would be released also. I also need it to identify a label on my SVdA bird that I have. I have never seen the label before and the bird appears to be old because I found ash in it. It would be nice to get a copy of this book.

I am on every wait list for the book that I've been able to find. I have scoured the world over for the Seguso VdA book. I really don't think it is out there anywhere. I read something a while back that said Heiremans had some trouble with the release of a couple of his books because of problems with the books themselves. I wondered if this is one of them.

I emailed Arnoldische, the publisher, asking if Heiremans book on SVdA had ever or would ever be published. They said that their plan was to publish it in Summer/Autumn of 2011. At least we have a specific date to look forward to now.

Pain, I didn't see your reply about my SVd'A bird label until now. Sorry it took me so long to respond. Yes, I do have a pic of the label. If you wish to view it, it is in Anita's Murano Zoo. Here it is: http://sites.google.com/site/muranozoo/birds-page-10 The first bird on the top left is it. As far as this lamp goes. I am with David that this is a SVd'A Albarelli lamp. There is a discussion on another board about SVd'A Albarelli and a nice member replied with help. Here is the link: http://www.fossilfly.com/Forums/showthread.php?p=10209#post10209tam bam |
