Topic: Interesting Webb signed piece on eBay

[Bernard C]

A very close match to my mystery ewer, see topic Burmese? ewer with enamel and gilt decoration — Id & date please, has just come up on eBay, see Signed Webb Art Glass Ewer Pitcher - NR.

I've not seen this Webb signature before — what do you think? 

... and this seller is keyword spamming like crazy, swamping many of my standard searches.   I've complained to eBay, but there's not been any improvement.    If anyone reading this has a spare minute or two, please would you complain to eBay.

TIA — Bernard C.

Looks a bit ropey for Webbs and it's not a signature I've ever seen,Webbs pieces are usually finished better,the decor' looks like coraline(think I've got that right)I've a few pieces similar myself and the one Burmese I do have is clearly marked Webbs.To be honest it looks like the seller scratched it on,in my opinion that is,unless it's the Bohemian Stourbridge branch of Webbs!

this seller has a lot of fake Webb marks. too many for it to be accident.. they had a couple other things with other faked signatures too.

I am always complaining to Ebay about keyword spamming and it always falls on deaf ears but I will keep complaining until they get fed up with me and all the others and do something about it.
I have complained to them about this item.

Oh my ... I just had a look at that supposed Webb item and well ummmm  :24:

What can I say?  Web glass is classy glass .... this is ummm well errrr .... NOT

As for the signature I thought I was going to have to leg it to Specsavers but finally managed to firnd the spider splot purporting to be an engraved signature.  Looks like someone did it wirh their diamond ring.

Oh well good luck to them if they get $100 for it.  Frankly I'd be loathe to part with 50p except to buy it for the china smashing stall at the scool fete!!!

I meant ropey as in it's Webbs attribution,not as suitable material for the school fete(as someone who shall remain nameless)indicated;in fact I quite like these,here's a few of my own 'ropey's' and I did check for sig's,just in case we were all wrong!(the one in the middle is extra 'ropey')
