Topic: Need help to identify this art glass vase

[jingyel]

Hello Everyone,

I just bought a art glass vase from local auction. It has signature on the bottom.

I wonder if you could help me to identify the artist or studio who made this beautiful piece.
Thank you for the help.

Hi jingyel,

Please try a tip we like to pass on about hard-to-read signatures:
1. Apply a small amount of talc (or simillar) to the area of the signature
2. Smooth out the talc with a dry finger
3. Gently blow or wipe off any talc remaning on the surface
4. Take another photo of the now clear-to-read signature area

Or cinnamon or cocoa powder. 
Could the signature read Stan Melis?
I can kind of make Melis out.

The first letter looks more like a B to me

[chopin-liszt]

Yes, sort of, but there isn't a glassmaker who has B as the first initial to Melis, but there is a Stan.
And I don't think this style of work would be incompatible with Australian Studio Glass.
Can you try the powder trick to help bring the marks up?

[brewster]

I don't think Stan Melis, Sue. The style looks wrong and I cannot see his sig there either. Good of you to be thinking of Oz glass though.

Are there a year 2001?
Looks like it in the third picture, if so maybe easier to narrow it in.

  I wasn't absolutely sure about the style, Trevor, but I never forget Australian glass.

Yes it does show 2001. So may be a art work from the young generation?
