ooh good shout both
Can see that as well now you've both mentioned it ... I think
It looks like L'ARfc to me to be honest.
It just seems such a strange little vase to be signed. Especially so small and so carefully signed. Weird. Not sure why one might sign it if it was made for a restaurant? It's just extra work.
To be honest I assumed it was a coated glass from China like the little tealight holders you can buy,
Like these type things:
urrgh - every link I put in is huge but if you search for Partylite tealight tulip candle holder - well that's what I assumed it was although it's vase sized not candle holder sized.
but I wanted that colour so it served it's purpose. I never paid much attention to it until last night and noticed the signature as it caught the light when washing it.
