Part of the red stamp typical of his artistic production, dating back to around 1950, is visible under the base.

Final considerations on the object:
The artistic quality of the sculpture is very high; opaline glass is also much more valuable than simple clear or colored glass, and in this sculpture, the glass is quite thick and heavy. Under the base is the typical seal of artistic productions made by the Seguso glassworks, in red with yellow lettering. Unfortunately, part of it has been detached and is not clearly visible, but as shown in the photo, the red background and part of the name "Archimede," specifically "Chimed," written in gold, make this an authentic and highly valuable object.
