Long Description
.Approximate 20 - 25 years ago and bought this blown glass sculpture. I was told there were only 2 made. Someone in Spain owned one and myself. I had it shipped to the United States. It came in a 4' X 4' crate. I am guessing the weight to be 50 pounds. It's so heavy, that I need a young man to move it. The dimensions are approximately 17" X 17". The attached pictures doesn't show off how really beautiful this is. I have it lite from beneath. There are 3 fishes in the belly of this pelican sitting on a block of ice. It is signed. I also have a book of the artist too.
It's in excellent condition. Â No chips, scratches, cracks. Â

Re: Pino Signoretto glass sculpture
I was guessing it weighed 50 pounds as I can't lift it. Â A friend of mine that help me move it was guessing more like 125 pounds. Â I can't pick it up to put it on a scale.
