Lenore, I've been looking at Loredano Rosin info online and some of his pieces do seem to go for a high price... one appraisal I read gave a figure of some $5000  for one of his works. :shock:

I suspect that part of the reason for its collectability may be the fact that he is no longer alive (he died as a result of a motor boat accident in the Venice lagoon in 1991) so there will be a finite number of pieces. The quality of the workmanship appears to be well-regarded from what I have read.

You might find this bio page about him interesting: http://www.rosinartestudio.it/dynalay.asp?PAGINA=558 and there's a recently completed auction page with one of his horse's heads here (including pics of the signature): http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7340039036

I'm sure some of the resident Venice and Murano experts would be able to add more so this maybe just a starter for you. :)

BTW I love the fish - it's soooo elegant!  8)

Hello Lenore,
Do you have an actual photo of the Fish you are talking about?

lenore:
Thanks for the website! That one I didn't find. Definitely some good info there.
At the moment I do not own this piece and unfortunately would not be able to take a pic of it until we purchased it and it does represent a good investment. So, sort of waffling on it until I can get a better handle on its value. If Pena does collect info on values from auctions its better than having no info at all. At least I think! But, need to take a pic of our latest find a signed piece of Venini that is like a poker chip??!!
Thanks again and have a great weekend!

lenore:
Oh, why not... maybe I should just go buy it. What do you think?
Makes life more interesting! :lol:

svazzo:
Hi Lenore,
Well, that is what I do sometimes when I am not sure about a piece. I will just buy it for a price I can live with, if it turns out not to be Murano, or not the maker I thought it was then I can scrap it. I have received some awful pieces in the past that I thought were Italian but because of bad photos I thought it was worth a chance. But then again, I have bought some exeptional pieces by just taking a gamble on them. I would say go for it, if you think its worth it in the end!
