Title: Anyone recognise this sig?
Post by: lyndhurst44 on August 21, 2011, 06:41:04 PM: Hi,
Here's a photo of a vase I purchased this weekend. There is a signature on the base that I cannot quite make out. I wonder if anyone out there in Forum land can make out or recognize please? :)
Thanks,
Bryn

Cheers,

I have sold glass with a Bermuda signature and can sort of read that in yours. This link has a similar colour too.

Nice vase though Bryn.

Could the one name be: Nicholas ??

Then the other be: Canada, or even Crumbria ??

Maybe give us a couple more shots of it, as extra shots *might* show us something else....and maybe crop in closer for us to figure out.

I did see on the web there is a Nicholas studio glass in the states, although not sure if this fits with their output. Incidentally, there's a Miranda who works there, which could fit with the other word..?

Not 100% sure if this fits, but could be worth investigating.

Thanks for that. I did actually try nicholsartglass link last night after trying various name combinations, but they don't seem to sell anything like this, but it was worth a try. Thanks also to Rose for your suggestions. I did try taking other photo's from different angles and using macro to get the best image of the name and these seem to give the clearest image? I will try again in the morning.
Cheers,
Bryn

Can you post us some more pics (different ones) closer, or cropped closer -- just to see IF we can make anything else out ??

Plus post a pic with some white dusting over it to see IF that helps ---- at least give us some more options :-\ to try to figure it out.

always worth a try... :thup:

Post by: chopin-liszt on August 24, 2011, 03:54:13 PM: No. But I did think it might be related until I saw the signature!

Post by: paulbowen on August 24, 2011, 04:25:02 PM: Looks like it says "Nichols" to me, which I assume to be somebody's family name. I would guess it's from a small studio somewhere.

Post by: CultureVulture on August 24, 2011, 10:48:18 PM: the signature that looks like amanda also resembles this scribbly Mtarfa signature
