Hi Bruno, welcome to the Board.

Firstly please do not use all caps as that is regarded as the internet version of shouting.

As for ID of any Galle item, it will be almost impossible for anyone to confirm via a website of any kind - and especially with only a couple of images. Your best bet will be to consult a top auction house or dealer with specialist knowledge.

The problem is that there are lots of modern copies by various makers. And of those that do not have the "Tip Galle" mark (Romanian source) or what has been called the "Yalle" mark (Chinese source), some are very well made (includes at least one American source) and could fool many knowledgeable people.

I am curious about the supposedly American source as I know several high end extremely knowledgable art glass dealers on both coasts & I yes the Romanian & Chinese signature ops are well known as they are in the manufacturing process, however I know of nothing that has surfaced about any U.S. op unless its a post manufacturer signature op that can somehow be cut into any previously manufactured blank to create a fake. As for anyone running a full scale production operation (1) if there was a U.S. production/blank/signature manufacturing op, news would have spread like wildfire over here & (2) 95% of any U.S. glass operation who could accomplish this not longer exists & Fenton was the last production operation who had the manpower, skills, equipment, etc. (and they would never do anything like this) unless its a small scale studio operation we do not know about & in our glass community its tough to hide this sort of activity.

Feel free to contact me privately if you wish if you have encountered anyone who knows of such an operation in the U.S.
