Title: Gino Cenedese Frog
Post by: Henri on September 06, 2008, 07:38:52 AM

I have a frog it is about 3 inches high by about 6 inches long. It is slightly surreal yet definitely a frog. It is signed and dated by Gino Cenedese.  I don't think that he did many animals.  Does anyone know of anywhere that i can take him to sell him or of any collectors that i can contact about his work. Or indeed anyone who knows anything about his animals.
Thanks

I was just about to say "Kiss him and he will turn into a Prince, then you can keep him!".......then I noticed your name was Henri!!
He's lovely, how can you even consider selling him!? :o

I know hes lovely, but one of my sons is off to University and I need to raise funds.  This little frog was given to me on the day he was born so it seems only right that if this frog has a value it is put towards my son. Which is why i need to try and find a collector or a seller of his works.
I did give him a kiss just in case but he is still a frog.

I wonder how much effect the inscription has on his value, he was made specially for you. You might be better looking for another way to raise funds IMHO

You are so right Christine, it would be so sad to sell so personal a gift. :'(

Sorry Henri, I didn't put the 'Henrietta' inscription and your name together......didn't mean to infer you were a bloke!!  You will have to get a little thing like Max has that says 'I am not a Man'!!
