[RAY]

Javier anychance of posting some photo's of your Seguso black/white animals?

also the black does go into the white to make blue in some places and the eye's are pushed in

Hi Ray,
The shape of it just bothers me somehow... how big is it?

This is the simplest Dog I have, the others are more intricate.
Also, this is the only one without the Seguso label. 
As you can see there's a bit of difference between the 2. Measures6" tall.

When I declared this to be Seguso back in May I was not aware that dubious items in this range were around. Javier and I had an exchange of e-mails re the whale to which he refers. I must admit that all the animals in my own collection have the applied black eyes as shown in the deer below. I am wondering if these "mutations with either no eyes or inset eyes may in fact be by Seguso with the design having been adapted since his death in 1999 or if in fact they are being produced elsewhere. On none of mine do the colours run to blue where there is a mixing it is a true amethyst. An e-mail to Seguso might be a worthwhile exercise, but in the meantime one to ponder. I've had a chat with a friend of mine in Finland and he says he knows of no glass company in Scandinavia producing this type of work and he's in the trade up there, so it looks like that area can be ruled out.

Hi Paul,
I tried emailing on the Seguso websites, but only got 1 reply from Seguso Vetri. It said that they could not identify any Archimede Seguso pieces because they were another company. I thought they would give me an email to contact the appropriate person or website that could help, but didnt get anything.
If you have an any info on who to contact that would be great!

Hi Javier this is the e-mail address I've had most success with, but I think it depends on the language skills of whoever is on duty on certain days.

the person who won it, said 100% it was Seguso and they know what there on about as they wrote the book

I certainly hope he's right as it is far less com[licated if copies are not around, this is difficult enough without added complications.
