Red marbled vase with enamel, Loetz Marmoriertes Carneol? or Harrach? other?

Thank you JP :)
Do we know that Loetz sold/collaborated with others for enamelling or were they always done in house?
I'm still thinking this is a Loetz piece, I've found another page of the Truitts book and a few further pieces and the marbling and colour of mine matches them, and I've seen a few more pieces with variation on the enamelling, though not a match for mine.
And I now don't think the enamel mark on the base ties it particularly to Harrach, because I have seen a piece enamelled with Moser on the base that is in similar style lettering (perhaps this was the 'in' way of the day)and similarly applied pale enamel (as far as I can tell from photos of course). Therefore this could well be an enamellers mark rather than specifically a Harrach mark I think :-\

Well my gut feeling is Loetz but Mike M IS more knowledgeable in that stable . The other guy to ask is Mike Weedon in Camden Passage but i dont believe he is a GMB member , he is a Major dealer in that type of glass . The two of them are as near as you will get to an expert in GB .

thank you :sun:
more pictures of the base for reference. I cannot get the bottom mark any better, it is very worn but definitely there as I can feel it with my fingers as well.
I think the top mark reads P.588. or P.688. and the bottom may be 5/2 but that is a real best guess.

found another marmoriertes vase in malachite (green no white interior, heavily gilded) but with a number enamelled on the base, or rather gilded.
So Loetz pieces were numbered sometimes.
And just found another on a deep pink carneol piece with the heavy neck decoration but the delicate enamel decoration on the heavy background is the same flower and such similar curly leaf bits that it looks to be the same house decorator. Feeling good ;D
