Many of these modern Venetian Murano sculptures are not signed, most were marked with a foil label that rarely survives the first washing. There are many makers of glass in Italy, such as Toso, Dino Martens, Salviati and many others, but without a label it is difficult to attribute any one maker to items of this type. Most rooster's sell in the $50.00- $200.00 range at auction. Lovejoy

Thank you, Lovejoy ! I've encountered many Murano roosters, but this is by far the largest. It is a beautiful piece and I wish it still had it's sticker. I appreciate the information. Sha543w
