In looking back at the additional photos, I think the other people posting are right.  'no trousers'.  Just someone taking the idea and modifying it.  It seems that most of the original Vistosi pieces were blown.  I did not dig deep enough to see if any are solid glass pieces.

Thanks

I do not think this is Vistosi, someone paid a lot on eBay under that impression, although I see the bid started at 99p and rose to the high amount over time. This is far cruder than Vistosi, but still effective and I think perhaps 70s in date. I think maybe Scandinavian or German as I said before.

Oh my  ,so what happens when the buyer finds out it is not the right one 
And also,quick lesson,do you say Scandi or such because of the style of bird,looks abit folk art to me.

What a cute bird, but as everyone said, it is all wrong for Pianon. Still cute. But not $900 worth of cute.

The second one to sell, which begs the question 'do they know something I don't?' http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&item=360474645159&nma=true&rt=nc&si=fQtHCFHVDV8vQifG9Wj2du%252BPs%252Bg%253D&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc#ht_3138wt_922

What the last one like this sold for before the auction ended. 

I don't know what you don't, either.

[adam20]

Well if they know it's not Vistosi (maybe they don't - but the seller doesn't claim it is 100%) what do they think it is?

Well we know they will be very unhappy chappies or chappettes once they find out!
