Upside down vase signed
« on: April 22, 2011, 05:47:31 PM »
Anyone recognise the signature on this vase it does go that way upside down  :sun:
Thought Per Lutken for some reason but it definitely does not say Holmegaard?

The inventor of the wobble vase (1992) is designer Ton Haas (http://www.dentro.com.hk/olddentro/bb.cfm?page=7&select0=&select1=&select2=&select3=&select4=) ; but there are several companies cashing in on its success, one of those being Willem Noyons (http://www.accurato.us/wobble-vase-willem-noyons-goods.aspx).  Wobble vases are made in Portugal. This seems to be another variation on the theme -  the rosalith colour points at a Czech studio copy.

Also not at all like the PL cartouche used for Per Lutken vases.  See examples below.
 The P & L were always intertwined
