Daveee — any chance of a picture of the vase, please?   Also locations would help, either or both of where you are and where was it bought.   You could consider adding this information to your profile.

Bernard, Thank you for your reply. I live in cumbria and it may have been bought locally sometime around 1985.
Here is the picture.      http://tinypic.com/2965bl Mod: Dead link

So now we know the name of the engraver, any clues as to the manufacturer?

[RAY]

he might get the blanks from cumbria crystal, thats just up the road

[Daveee]

Thank you for the information. I have just come accross another item we have had for years which is a decanter with the same signature. However on this item there is a sticker which says ARCCRYSTAL engaved in Cumbria. So French made?

Could it be Artcrystal instead? This is the name that Patrick McMahon trades under.

His website states: "Come along and see our lovely new range of crystal from around the world, Waterford, Galway Irish,Dartington, Caithness, One World Collection, Atlantis, Cumbria Crystal plus Patrick's fantastic Engraving Collection."
