Topic: Question re Statuettes, Martinuzzi? Gio Ponti?

[ottogrunf]

good life in all I found these two statuettes, someone knows something?

Welcome to the Glass Message Board!  Thank you for showing us these superb, top quality Murano pieces. There is just a hint of gold in the foot, and the coral colour dress points at Napoleone Martinuzzi for Venini circa 1930.

I suggest we move this topic to the Italian glass section and hope that someone will be able to confirm this.

  ;)thanks for the reply I do not think that they are Martinuzzi but gio_ponti. I'd like to know how valuable excuse my bad English

We do not normally discuss values.
In the secondary market, something is worth only what somebody is willing to pay for it, in that place, at that time.

But these are exceptionally high quality, you should not have any problem getting a good price at auction, just choose your auction carefully, to reach the right audience.

Thank you again it was just a curiosity I have so many pieces but I never thought about the value maybe it's time to know

You might be able to manage a simple weekend away on the proceeds - but not your retirement.

  :)Today I made a quick trip to vevezia I knew the approximate value of about € 15,000 each and are actually gioponti glassware barovier 1930

All you need now, is somebody willing to pay that much.

These are figurines that are based on 1935 design by Ercole Barovier for VA Barovier. There is a picture of the design on page 100 of The Art of the Barovier. They are called Dancing Women. They were apparently sold as a pair. The dress and base of yours are different in color and shape, though, so I wonder if yours are Barovier or if they might be someone else.

I would bet on Barovier , thought so the first second I saw them . love them .
