Title: Vincenzo Nason or Bottaro?
Post by: scavo on April 23, 2012, 10:35:12 PM

Looking though the murano zoo I spotted this sealion and a very similar duck.

Mine don't have any signature, just a highly polished base and slightly beveled edge. The sealion looks and corresponds very closely to the description of the Bottaro on http://sites.google.com/site/muranozoo/ but is not signed. It doesn't look flawed so I don't think it's a second.

Your thoughts would be nice.

Is the body of your seal very curved or almost straight? The Bottaro seal in the zoo was almost in a straight line. The Nason one is very curved. The bird looks like a Nason bird, so if the seal is curved, I would say Nason.

The seal body turns through 90* so not straight. Thanks for the help.
