great find! thanks :)

My german is not very good but it seems it was put up for auction in 2011 and not sold. I wonder why they think this is Seguso...

I have pictures of it mailed to several glass museums, hopefully they can comfirm more about the dove.

An update on this dove (for anyone interested :) )

I live in Belgium so I contacted the Art and Design Museum in Ghent. They couldn't tell anything about the dove and referred me to Mr Marc Heiremans, who is supposed to be thé expert in Belgium when it comes to glass and he published 3 works about Vetri glass. I sent him pictures of the dove and received his reply today:

"I'm sorry but I can't help you either.
The dove certainly is NOT Seguso Vetro D'Arte, Archimede Seguso or Seguso Viro (3 related glass companies)
regards
Mark Heiremans"

So according to him, all auction housed that had put the name Seguso on it in the past where wrong.


Back to start I guess :)
All help or information is still appreciated though

Perhaps the paperweight board knew something.

Herr Auktionen had this bird also (I don't know how to minimize):
