Fantastic piece!! You should be proud to own/display it. If not, John Toomey or the folks at Wrights would love to have it for their Modern auctions. It is exceedingly rare that a Venini piece surfaces in this part of the Midwest (Minnesota), especially of that caliber, and probably Chicago as well. (Out of curiousity, how did you aquire it?). I don't own any signed Venini, and I should get used to the fact that I'll have to pay "retail" since Venini signed just about everything they produced and with the Antiques Roadshow and the internet, any schmo can figure out its value (at least in relative terms) :cry:
