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

[Wayne]

Rod PGCC has got one too - similarly marked  

 :wsh:

Spotted that this morning too, same pics as Markus' original post though, so I'm assuming it's his listing.

Am I mistaken.....surely this is the same vase?? 
Markus,  are you 'just-nice-things??
I don't know who Rod PGCC is Pamela, but these two pictures of the signature in your link and Markus's are identical, and I found the eBay listing and assumed Markus had decided to sell it, as that one is the same one.
We've just 'clashed' Wayne!!

just-nice-things of eBay used to be Rod Crowshaw of Pressed Glass Collectors Club PGCC

Looking at the business seller info at the bottom of the listing, "Just Nice Things Ltd" is run by "Tom Allati" now.

Well I enjoy a good mystery, so I did some digging and I think I have made some sense out of this by following the trail...

The "other" signed vase listed as Lalique here, was later relisted here.  It was sold on 6th June to ebayer things-from-the-cupboard (check their feedback as a buyer to confirm this).  things-from-the-cupboard currently has 1 item for sale here.  Scroll down to the bottom of the listing, where it says "ANY Questions please call Linda at Creative Interiors".

Now, have a look at the business seller information on just-nice-things listing here:

Just Nice Things Ltd
Tom Allati
c / o Creative Interiors

From this Watson, I deduce that all the signed vases mentioned in this thread are one and the same, and the bit about this vase being in the attic for 10 years is porkies!

Strewth!!  (Or should I say Sleuth!!). Wayne, you missed your vocation. :no:

I could see they were the same vase.  but heck....we all trust each other on this site (or so I thought!) so if this is all porkie pies, why??? What is there to gain except lost credibility??  :thud:

I don't know Rosie. It's clear that Markus isn't responsible for adding the signature, as it was like that when he (or whoever it was from Creative Interiors) bought it, so I've no idea why he had to claim it was from his attic, just to make out that it wasn't a fake Lalique signature.  :huh:

I think we can sell this as a drama series to one of the TV companies. Beats Fagin Hunt.

As far as I'm aware Markus (Mikebonne) isn't one of the aforementioned eBay sellers / buyers nor is he connected to Rod Crowshaw of the PGCC (Pressed Glass Correspondence Club) - Rod is nicethings7676 on eBay.
