ID help for little fishie please :-)
« on: May 29, 2012, 09:07:09 AM »
Hi,

Well here I am again with another puzzle  ::)

I'm hoping she is more than just generic murano but I havent been able to pinpoint her as yet.

clear cased, pink opaline-esque centre. Ground, polished base. 3 inches high  by 4 inches wide

Does anyone recognise the design or style please?

cheers
Mel

I have seen what looks like these - same fin and tail shape - identified elsewhere as Gambaro e Poggi. Might be worth checking out.

Thank you JAK,

yes there is definitely a family resemblance. I like Dan's scavo finish one on flickriver.

just thinking out loud here but could the little rounded blob finish on the ends of the fins be used as an identifying feature?

plus mine is unsigned :-( does anyone know if unsigned pieces are more the norm? ie lost paper/foil label

questions, questions....sorry, lol
