Topic: vase signed afors age? signature?

[johnsoni97]

I just acquired a BEAUTIFUL very heavy vase. There is alot of wear on the base but I can make out the word afors and the number 1166. The signature is what i am having real trouble with. It starts with a B. There appears to also be the letter i in it as well as perhaps ant as the last three letters. I would just like to know the approximate age of the vase. Any help anyone can share is very much appreciated! Irene

Hi there 

I've removed one of your threads (identical to this one) as it could get a bit confusing if people answer you in different places!   This way all your your answers will be in one place. 

Is there any chance of a photograph of your item please?  We love seeing new items and it'll help with identification.

Here's a 'how to' to assist with uploading your pictures:

Good idea! I would have responded sooner but we went out of town for a few days. I will get out the digital camera and do my best to add a picture in the next couple of days. Thank you!!

A number of Afors pieces were also signed Afors, a 4 digit number and then the colour/technique (in Swedish).
I've seen 2008 Bla, 2016 Lila and 1718 Rubin.

The pic will tell all.
