Topic: blue spiral twist green glass vase signature help please

[brucebanner]

Hello there does anyone recognise this piece of glass or the signature, it's relatively modern and well made with a folded foot and snapped pontil, no age wear to the base and 5 3/4 inches in height.

Thanks, Chris.

folded feet have been a feature from Murano - although don't know whether that applies to the trailing as well.         Looks more like initials perhaps rather than a signature, but only guessing.
Sorry it's really of no help.

the best known maker of renaissance replicas in murano is the bon family. That' s where I would start.

It reminded me of the high quality German- Czech replica glass too. One very similar here http://www.lesnisklo.cz/

Scrolling down here seems to be a near match...

Looks like Rob you have a match for this piece, there is another one i have found for sale in America that looks very similar to another on this page, thanks for your help.

[Paul S.]

great to hear you may have found a match Chris  -  forgive my ignorance, but does the corresponding piece have a folded foot  like yours?

I found this glass for sale on the ebay labeled it must be the same maker as this one i know someone also posted a similar glass signed JF, looks like there made by Joseph Fleck.
