Topic: Hand Blown Signed Crystal Globe Vase - Cannot find info anywhere!

[OneRockinMama]

I have had this crystal vase for about 5 years, I bought it at a consignment shop and the owners did not know what the sig. read.  I have looked everywhere for similar items and cannot find a thing.  It is approximately 5.25" tall and 3.5" at it's widest point.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Can't quite read the signature, but could it be Maytum Studio?

I cannot make out the sig either - it is blurry.  The first word eludes me and the second looks like Mud'o or something close.  The rest is hard since it seems to be in script!

I agree that the signature could be Maytum Studios, then maybe an artist's signature.  I see from Google that they operate out of Boulder Colorado, so maybe it's worth contacting them to see if it fits.

Thanks I think you all are correct.  Unfortunately there is no phone number for them listed online or through 411.  I have the address and the operator said there is no one there with that name, nor in Boulder. 
I will keep searching!

If you can find contact details for Debra May or Mark Einert, they may be able to help you. Both worked for Brian Maytum

A signed Maytum paperweight showed up on eBay - 290205002771 - looks like a match to me?

Yes, your piece is a Maytum candle wick holder.  I have one too but a different design and artist.  The wick is missing out of your piece.  My piece also has a missing wick.  The wick holder is made of clear glass and the wick fits inside of it.  Here is an example of what I am talking about. http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/maytum-candle-hand-blown-hand-painted 

Maytum no longer exists and their pieces are quality pieces.

I agree it is a Maytum Studio piece.  I thingk it is not a vase at all but in fact an oil lamp base with the brass fitting missing. Some where I have a photo of an oil lamp from Washington State (can't remeber the maker's name right now) which has the same "pear" shape.  Maytum did make oil lamps.

Here are photos of two different types of wick system that may have been in your base.
