Blue Orange Biggie
« on: August 24, 2014, 11:22:54 PM »
Hi,

Here's a lovely piece. It's mostly blue and orange swirls

It's a bit of an odd construction. It starts with a large clear center, this has a white casing, (this is the weird part) I'm used to internally white cased pieces, because it makes the colors on top really pop, but generally it's a smooth encasement. On this one it's encase with 3D waves of gauzy white.

On top of that is the primary design, waves and swirls of blue, pink, orange, and some purple. Then the piece is cased in a very thick 1/4" of crystal clear glass, and highly polished, including the base.

It is signed, but I don't recognize the signature.

it's 3-1/2 high by about 4" across.

Any ideas?

It's funny how you can stare at a signature, trying to figure out what it says, and give up. Then picking it up, and giving it just a glance, the answer pops out.

This a Pino Signoretto. Signed P Signoretto.
