Title: Identification of an etched vase
Post by: ayeayeaye on November 29, 2010, 09:24:17 PM

Hello
Can anyone identify who made this vase? The vase is signed but the base is well worn around the edge which makes it extremely difficult to make out. I think it starts with an R. but after that it becomes too difficult to read the rest. The work itself is very well done and consists of a series of stylised fish. I bought it because I liked it but (as always) it would be good to know a bit more about it.

Many thanks

Chris

Hello Chris,welcome,can't help I'm afraid but it might help others if you could post a picture of the base and mark if possible ;D

Thanks Keith

I'll have a go and put something up tomorrow but it is likely to be poor.

Following on from Keith's message I have added two photo's of the signature on the vase.

Hopefully someone can make something out from the etched work on the vase and the bits of the signature you can see

Thnaks again

Bang on Ivo.

It appears to read 'Reijmyre Tom' for Tom Moller. When you suggested Reijmyre I had a search around and came across someone else who had a vase with the same signature. All the vases I have seen for him (so far) are quite different but I'm sure the signature is right.

Many thanks for that

Thanks Christine

Thats the very one that I found earlier today, which helped to identify the signature following Ivo's lead. Apparently Tom Moller was known for his ".. quirky, stylized patterns such as fish, birds and rams." (Lesley Jackson - 20th Century Factory Glass).

Thanks to Keith for getting me to add on the signature photo's.
