It is probably impossible to tell who's signature is found on the vase. But, maybe someone will be more knowledgeable than I am, and will be able to give me a hint. Thank you.

I would think the mark on the metalwork refers to the maker of the metalwork, the glassmaker could be from somewhere completely different, in a completely different timeframe.
It's a tricky one - I try to avoid glass with extra metal bits attached  :pb: - they start to cross collecting boundaries - eg. silver collectors are interested in the silver bit stuck to the glass, not the actual glass.
Sorry not to be of more help.
Cheers, Sue M. (she/her)

Hi,
Yes, I can see yout point. I just wonder about this vase. Because it is typical, not rare, in France, someone may know someting about.  Thank you.

????

As to the Makers of the Silver, might be worth looking at these names ?????  to help about the glass.  Is the metal marked any where else besides that on the bottom?

Pierre Lesperance ???



Not sure, but I had to look twice as I thought it was a P.S. first -- and thought of Paul Storr.  If it would be him, you would be  :wsh: to the Bank $$$$$

Worth checking into more, no matter what.  Lovely, lovely piece !!!!!  :thup:

Thank you very much for your time. No, it marked only on the bottom. I will check those names too. Thank you again.

I don't think it's silver though, more like a gilded base metal.
