(1/3) > >>

Alfies Dad:
Hi, Thanks to Ahremck / Ross for putting a name to the signature on this interesting vase, i have since googled Chris Pantano and found pieces in (gallery beneath) which are Quite expensive, prices range from $1000 / $5000 Australian dollars for other pieces made by him, my vase is Dreamtime but can't find any like this, question is would this vase be worth anything like mentioned above or am i just having a dreamtime myself, I understand that something is only worth what two people are prepared to pay for an item, Im just a novice here and would appreciate your views on this one.
Thanks Robert.

Lustrousstone:
He's an Australian/world glass bigwig, so yes, though those are gallery prices.

Alfies Dad:
Thanks Christine, I guess i got a real bargain then from that charity shop several years ago, they obviously didn't know what they were selling and i definatly did not know what this was either, i think its only fair now that i return to the shop and give them a very big donation. Thanks again Robert.

Hey Robert  :)  You bought it because you liked it, and that's beautiful.  It lovely when things work out like this, I hope you've enjoyed owning it, I hope you do well if you sell.   :) :) :)

Chris Pantano used to have a lovely studio at Montville, Queensland, Australia.  About a year ago we were there and it no longer exists.  Chris may have ceased blowing.  In my opinion his work is brilliant because he originated several distinct series of pieces.  Dreamtime (Aboriginal motifs), Reef (based on the Barrier Reef), Rainforest, Desert, to name some I saw and could not afford to buy at the time.  Several of the influential artists from that area Lucas Salton, Richard Lamprecht(Ricardo Glass), Tina Cooper, and Mark Kalifa also ask and get prices in the $2000 range.  Most of them have copied Chris - often almost slavishly.  I would suggest that it might well cost what you have researched - especially if it is large - I have forgotten the size.
