Help with China Man Glass Figure Textured finish

wiggy131:






Can anyone recognise this signature scratched into the base. The glass has a rough texture added also, which is unusual to me. Would be most grateful for any help!

I would try rubbing over the signature with something dark like coco powder.......might bring it up enough to read it.

Good luck

Maybe Tagliapietra, could be Lino or Alessandro, Andrea...

Looks like a Scavo finish, without the signature would have said Cenedese a possibility.

I couldn't work out the finish.
I don't think it's corroso, it does look more as if something was applied?

I've got a little signed posy vase with something that looks very similar, almost like sand. It produces a shiney iridesence in-between the dull bits. It's very boring and beige, apart from the strange surface, what appears to be a proper signature, a finished (again odd, possibly heat finished) pontil scar and date. I always meant to post it here to find out about the very strange surface texture. It feels like the fine side of an emery board!

Unfortunately, I'm unable to deal with pics just now. The pc died. I can't work the new one and I've lost my basic version of paint shop pro. I haven't got any files, documents, folders or tinkerbells or whatever things are called now, on this.


What exactly, is scavo, John? I don't think I know. I know the word, but not what it means.

glassobsessed:
Think scavo means excavated - so a finish that resembles buried glass that has been dug up. Corroso is 'corroded' and an acid treatment, think you might be right, Corroso may well be accurate here.
