can somebody identify this signature?

Mod: closeup of signature added as well

No idea on the signature. I have seen it somewhere, but I can't remember. The vessel looks like it could be Romanian.

thanks for taking time to look, all I know about the item, that it was purchased at Miami Basel Art Show some time ago

The finish reminds me of Israeli glass, but the applications remind me of Romanian. I did some searching and found some similar things, but nothing exact and nothing signed. We are going to have to teach glass people to write legibly!

I think it's Vadan - full name Ioan Tubi Vadan - who just signs his work 'Vadan' (see attached pic.)  He works particularly with glass and metal combined.  I have a vase by him which was identified some years ago on this board and the signature looks very similar to me.  So yes, it would be Romanian. 

Thank you to Max for alerting me to this thread.
