Hi from Stockholm.

I have this bird and it says S. Signoretto and i think is Silvano Signoretto for Murano, height i s aprox. 10cm.
Couldn`t find similar on google, can you please tell med anything about it and maybe a value, is it worth anything and where do i sell it?
It is in mint condition.

Thx for your help everybody.

It is a nice bird that was probably made in the 1990s and later. Silvano Signoretto is a competent glass master from an established family in Murano. I am not sure what his relationship is with Pino. I wonder if they are cousins.

Birds are very popular among Murano people if the price is right. I don't know the retail price of the bird, but I would expect the auction value to be $50-100 in today's market. What price to ask or expect depends very much on the venue chosen. To get a better idea you can put "Murano bird branch" in google and see what type of prices are being asked or realized for birds similar to yours. The name does not carry a special premium in the US, though Silvano's work is excellent.

I believe Pino and Silvano are brothers. I once found a site referencing as to how many brothers were in Pino's family and I also found a site once that referenced Silvano's brothers. No names on both but they both had the same amount of brothers so it is just an educated guess... I guess.

If you look at pics at both Pino and Silvano you will see they resemble one another strongly so most definitely they are from the same family tree.
