Cerebus Crystal Statute Mystery

I was wondering if you could tell me something about a small glass, or crystal, figurine of Cerebus on a wood base. It is in a white box with the word Cerebus on white strips of paper that are pasted on. On the top is the following: Cerebus Series F NO= 2 of 50. Inside is a label that reads: Venessa - Crystal Creations and a phone number: 0582 580452. An internet search turned up nothing. I spoke with Dave Sim who did not remember it. If memory serves, Forbidden Planet in New York had this one in the 1990s. Any thoughts about its value?

This is the second such figurine to come up. The first one I heard about popped up on the internets a while back - 10 years? - and I managed to get some pictures. I thought it was Brian "Cerebus Aartblog" who owned it, but I didn't find it on his superb Cerebus original art and goodies website. The series F is interesting - as the pictures I have are of series A but show 1 of 50. The value is hard to say as this one is pretty rare and no confirmation from Dave as to it being authorized or not. At least a couple hundred dollars if not more. Feel free to use the photos on your blog Tim. The high visibility of it perhaps might get some more info from other Cerebus fans out there.
