Title: Pierre Siguaretto fish - ID = Silvano Signoretto
Post by: LouisXIV on December 08, 2013, 07:36:30 PM: I've got this stunning fish made by Pierre Siguaretto, as signed on the bottom. I only found another fish on the internet sold by liveauctioneers. The only thing I know is that he's Italian, but that's it. Does anybody got more info about the maker? And maybe some other pieces to show here?

Post by: LouisXIV on December 08, 2013, 08:33:58 PM: You could be right... It wasn't easy for me to find out so I started a search on the web and the first thing I found was a blue fish... So I thought the name was ok...

Here are a few picures. :)

For the record, the fish you see is 33 cm high.

I bought him a half year ago.

I'll see if I can find his signature. It would make sense, because your fish didn't strike as Pino's style.

Added: Here is two examples:

I think we can pretty safely say Silvano Signoretto.

I would really help to see a clear picture of the signature.

Looking up this one apparently signed Pierre Siguaretto I think it might also read Pino Signoretto?

I hope I'm not leading you up the garden path as I could be totally wrong :-\

I also found it a complete different style and writing, so I was thinking an early period or so. But Silvano Signoretto makes more sense. ;)

thanks :) yes I saw a duplicate of this thread on the Murano forum with your id after I'd posted on this thread, and so asked the mods to delete the topic as it was repeated (Thanks Anne).
