Signed Murano Bottle, ID = Franco Moretti
« on: March 17, 2012, 11:32:51 AM »
How annoying to put a sticker right over the signature, i dont want to take it off, so hopefully somebody will be able to
tell me what it says? ...tti ...evev ?
I'm guessing its Moretti, but not sure, and cant think of what the second word is  ???
 
Cheers

If you do decide to remove the sticker to check, use either a razor blade or a sharp stanley blade, slide it carefully underneath and you should be able to remove the sticker without damage. Stick it back on with a tiny bit of pva.

There is more than one Moretti....

Could be Mario Zanetti , he worked for Aureliano Toso, some similarities with Dino Martens style. Theres another Fratelli, who have a website, mostly animals, doesnt look close.
 
Spaghetti, and Confetti dont seem very likely !
Desiphering that second word would help. Label may have to come off  ;D
Just cant find a word or company that fits. Getting Frustrated now.
Cheers

I agree with Andy. Franco Moretti. It looks like his perfume or scent bottle and his signature.

Thanks Anita, I will ask Tambam if she has any idea of a date, or what the other word is, i thought that would be an easy
one, but maybe its the name of the pattern or something.

So, thats the good news, now the bad news  :'( :'(
see photos. Has anyone got a nice solid blue stopper going spare ?? Thats why i got a good price on this one !
Otherwise a bit of Bluetak will hold it on safely  :'(

Many thanks,
Andy
