Topic: Nice chunky vase - can't read signature

[dinklepip]

Acquired recently, rather chunky and heavy.  BUT..... can't read the signature :cry:.  Anyone please?

Signatures can be tricky at the best of times. Be patient though, sometimes it takes months for someone who recognises the signature to see your post. Another trick is to examine the signature carefully and work out as many possible options as possible. Then type each into Google, with words like glass vase. That has worked for me on occasion.

Sometimes, gently dusting talcum powder into the signature can reveal lighter parts of the engraving, and give a better picture. 
The beauty of this method, is that it is easily washed off afterwards. 
It might help to define this one a little more clearly?

I sometimes find if you get a pen and try to copy it onto paper, you can work out what the letters might be by the movements you make.

well I never!!!  never thought of dusting with talcum powder thanks everso for the tip.  Sorta looks very familiar to me but just can't remember...can't find my way home most days  . 

I do that sometimes with other items, try different spellings on the internet and see what comes up.  Thanks for the tip folks...see what I can find
