Hello,I hope you can help me with this!
I bought a Leone di San Marco on a auction,but when I received it ,I saw the mark was different!
Here the picture.
It says Mario Mellara?
Can you maybe look at the picture and tell me if this is a fake or made by an other designer?
Thank you very much.
Kind regards Lisa
Dear Lisa,
I am afraid that the signature does not correspond to the Master Mario Badioli. All his sculptures are signed and you can clearly read “Badioli”.
We wrote an article on how to recognize a true Badioli, here the reference: https://www.muranoglassitaly.com/how-to-recognize-original-badioli-sculptures/
Best regards.
