Topic: Signed Vase - Help to ID Signature

[chrisade]

Clear aqua glass vase with applied whitish threads around the body of the vase. It has an etched signature and date is 94 Any ideas appreciated. Thanks Chris

I did wonder about Michael Hook - but it is unlike any I have seen.  Except for one vase that has a delicate trail like yours.  He normally signs clearly as well.

Hi Ross,
I had thought for a while that it may have been John Walsh - his signature seems to be squashed up like this, but I haven't come across any of his glass that looks like this. Thanks for the thoughts about Michael Hook, he is unknown to me.

Definitely not like any John Walsh I have seen.  All of the pieces have been small and the signature is pretty distinctive once you know it. (see Below for 4 examples)

I think it starts M ?  but it is not similar to any of the signatures I have for MacKenzie Mitchell, Mark Eliott, Mark Galton, Mark Kalifa, Mark Thiele, Martini Glass, Mat Quicke, Matt Bryce, Matt Larwood, Matt Ryan, Matthew Farrell, Maureen Williams, Mel Fraser, Michael Hook, Michele Super, Mike Shaw, Misty Anne, Mitch 04, Moshe Pleshet, Madeleine Prowd, Mariella Mckinley, Matthew Goodlet, Meg Caslake OR Morton Yeates.  It is a new signature to me.  Good luck.
