Before giving this one an "ID" in the title, I'd like to raise some other points ...

Are we sure Chris's piece is by "Gambaro e Poggi"? The couple of "G & P" examles shown, and particularly the one in the video in the other thread, have additional and well balanced decoration to the interior and they also have coloured eyes. Chris's has clear eyes and what seems to be a plain coloured inner section that does not appear to "fill" the body.

Chris ... you say that yours is identical (in form) to the "G & P" ones. But what about the size? And with only your single picture, we cannot see the detail of how the tail is actually formed. Maybe it really is "G & P", but I wonder about the much plainer look.

There is a G&P fish in the zoo that has the same colors, but a different form. I haven't commented on the fish because it is a design that was done by a few companies. G&P was my first thought, but something about the eyes and mouth made me hesitate. There is a lot of variation in the G&P pieces, though, so it could be.

Chris, if you give us a complete view from the side so we can see the layering and the tail, it would help a lot.

Could this one be of any help in identifying your fish Chris?  Just found it this morning....
