Topic: Royo glass signed Moser?

[Sue C]

Hi All, long time no speak, very very busy with FOUR grandchildren now !!
Anyway i came across this on ebay and thought it might be of interest to those Royo moser researches, item number 111271645280

P.S Anne found your address last week so expect an old fashioned letter in the nex couple of weeks, xx

Lovely to see you again SueC. - and glad it was good stuff kept you away.

Hi Sue,  yes all good stuff but i have Sophia 90% of the time now as Lisa has gone back into full time education studying Art History so she stays with me during the week so i can take her to school  at my age though i am so glad when the weekend comes around so i can get some rest, but even then she does'nt want to go home!!

As to the signed Moser piece I was under the impression that Moser had nothing to do with Royo ? or am i way behind the times?? if J.P is around he might enlighten me as i think he collected Royo ? 

Thanks for the welcome Sue x

I've missed your comments, expertise and you!
Good grief  90% of the time to have an energetic wee one around does sound utterly exhausting - but loads of fun
I haven't followed the Royo story, I'm afraid. Just glad to see you.

Hi Sue c nice to hear you so positive , Royo has  nothing to do with Moser , an American author Gary Baldwin wrote a book  on Moser and stated Royo was made for the Spanish market by Moser , i knew this was incorrect having been going to Majorca since Franco was in charge , there is a glass house called Gordiola in Algaida right in the middle of  the Island they made all the Royo glass , the first time i suggested this an American lady dealer threatened to take legal action against me , i said go ahead , she didnt , i put my info to Ivo and suggested he visited the factory , he did and confirmed my case , i think your item is signed Royo , i can see nothing about Moser but some Americans wont let go , even tho Gary Baldwin agrees with me and has said so . cheers  lol

If you ever go to Majorca its well worth a visit , you can have a go at blowing  and they have a museum with glass from around the globe . dont go on a coach trip they will rush you off to the pearl and leather outlets .

JP I'm not disagreeing on any of what you've said about the vase as I'd noticed it before and really hadn't a clue.  But on the side in the second picture it does look as if it's signed very neatly in script moser  ?
I'm not at all suggesting it is.  Haven't a clue, but the signature does seems to say that don't you think?  So presumably a fake sig?

just adding - there is a selection of Moser sigs here and I can't see that one?

I thought Royo too, the style and colours of enamelling really and that prunt in the middle looks to be quite Gordiola like.

I have seen hundreds over the years , with quite a few signatures many of these look to be by the same hand , maybe thats where Gary Baldwin got it from and he has publickly retracted this , The Moser factory has said recently  they did not make these items . so make your mind up . i have and it has cost me a lot of money and devalued my Royo collection . but i can live with that , i had the choice . Maybe i should have kept quietand sold my collection as Moser they did go for big bucks in the USA .
 PS The main man at Gordiola has said they made them .

Obviously a fake sig on a nice Royo - never seen Moser sign anything in needle etched script.
