Topic: Anyone know who this V.......ac signature belongs to?

Interesting, I did notice there seemed to be a US connection.
As far as I can tell - without actually picking up the phone and doing some proper research! - they closed definitively in 2005, after some years of struggling. There have been unsuccessful attempts to get the glass works going again. It certainly won't be happening in 2012, that's for sure.
I have a lamp in similar style which is unsigned and I have always thought it likely to be by the same maker. I'll put a pic up shortly for those who are interested.
Thanks to all.

I think Vianne closed a few years ago.they used to ship lots of containers of lighting fixture glass to the US for many years. A couple of my friends used to be their representatives here in the US.

Big operation then.
Here's a pic of my 40-odd-year-old Vianne-type lamp....
