Title: Flygsfors? Amethyst vase
Post by: Max on July 25, 2011, 06:28:08 PM

I've had this vase for about four years and only noticed the signature on it about a year ago.  It seems to say 'Flygsfors'...but I've never seen this shape or style before.  Can anyone confirm or otherwise?  Thank you.   :) :)

(any marks in the base well are light distortion and not present in the glass)

Interesting piece Max, can't say I've seen it before either.  Signature looks ok to me though.  Plenty more sigs here for comparison:

Thanks Wayne.  :)  It's an unusual base finish too, isn't it?   :huh:

It is a bit odd, yes!
