Topic: Help Needed ASAP please :) with an auction vase SIGNED???

[LEGSY]

Stumbled into a local auction today and they had this huge vase for sale it is about 17" tall and very nice i am hoping to purchase it when it is auctioned later this month but have not got a clue what to bid as i don't recognize the piece, If somebody might know i can hopefully not let my appetite for glass get the better of me:) It sort of look's Murano to me but could also be Chinese although the sig and polished base look's a little too good. Seems to have some wear to base so this is all i know any suggestions on maker etc taken gladly thank you

The mark on the base looks more like a company logo etched on with a stencil rather than a signature.
And it would be absolutely perfect for putting my Beranek Tropical flowers in.
Sorry I can't help more than that!

Pa? Va?
Henley? Hawkins? Healey?

The signature looks to be the same as on this vase by Ian Hankey:

Good luck at the auction.
