Topic: Small red studio vase ID= Mtarfa

[petet63]

Hi, this one is about 4 1/2 inches in height. The inner layer is similar to heron glass. I can't make the sig out at all. Any help appreciated. Thanks

Mtarfa I suspect.

I thought that at first but it doesn't  compare with the sigs i have on Mtarfa. I could very easily be wrong mind you  (it has been known to happen.....a lot !)

My suspicions are the same as both of yours. It looks like a bit of Mtarfa for a start, the way the enamels are used, it is a known Mtarfa shape and the illegible mark does appear to start with an M and have a f-like thing towards the end, I'm quite happy to consider this a positive id.

Yes Mtarfa, the same design also crops up in other colours.

I should know better than to doubt your knowledge glassobsessed. They are worse than doctors with their Signatures !. I have not seen these before. It is a nice piece of glass and looks better in the flesh than pictures show. Once I get my friend computer savvy he can post on here.  he has some nice pieces but I cant keep checking for him lol. Thank you once again. Much Appreciated.
