Topic: Help with Signature on Fish Vase - Lalique???

[mikebonne]

Hello all and thanks for all your help as always...This fish vase I have....  I was reading old posts on here from 2009 and this fish vase that I also have was identified as being a Josef Inwald Barolac piece.  I have this vase and unlike the one from 2009, mine has a signature.  I have not found the vase in any Inwald references and just assumed it to be an unknown Bohemian or possibly French item.  With my new camera I can get a good pic of the signature so wondered if anyone can actually identify this please?

thanks again   Markus

Just wondering, could someone have tried to give it a fake Lalique signature (R Lalique)?

That was my first thought.

Goodness me...you are all a bit quick on the "fake" route....  it has never crossed my mind that it says Lalique as anyone that knows the Scripted lalique mark would know that this is nothing like that.  Are you making accusations here??  This has been in my attik for 10 years and was my mum's and grandmother's previous and she would have bought it with her from Belgium

Sorry Markus, was not making any kind of accusation.  I certainly wasn't implying you had done it yourself and then posted the pics here for us all to see, it was just a suggestion, as it looked a lot like "R Lalique" to me.

If it's dremeled it must be fake. Real glass makers use diamond point.

I'm probably more familiar with "fake" Lalique signatures on odd and decidedly non-Lalique bits of glass than i am with the correct mark!

No accusations at all - (where did that come from?  :thud: ) - it merely looks as if somebody, at some point in time, has put this mark on a vaguely Lalique-y piece.

Can you make out any of the letters in the mark at all? (apart from the R and the L, and the sort of q-ish downstroke towards the end)

Not pointing the finger of dishonesty at you Marcus or your dear grandmother.
These fakers (have I spelt that correctly?) have no qualms who they pass their naughty bits onto.
