Title: Etched mark on a Bud Vase
Post by: petet63 on January 17, 2014, 07:17:07 PM

I thought this looked like the Rosenthal Mark but not quite right. Anyone recognise it. I have seen a fair few from Stuart, Royal Brierley etc but none with this mark. It is 12.5cm in height.  Thanks

I have just searched GMB using Skruf and it seems that this mark has been posted previously so thanks for the right search word. The figure 8 on its side is an alchemist sign for glass and is used by Skruf. Thanks for the help.

Except this is not the Skruf mark, it remains a bit of a mystery as far as I remember.

The Skruf version is like this: http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/displayimage.php?pos=-11786

I did see that, and no outline like in  this one. I have found that there are a number of companies that produced very similar pieces to this and the one in the earlier thread. That was suggested to be Skruf but after checking i could see its not skruf. The Rosenthal mark was similar as well. Another mystery. I will list with a question asking if its recognised...it has worked in the past. Thanks

Interesting Keith, perhaps these were bought in from an outside supplier by Stuart and at least one other company.

The pattern on mine and Keith's eBay link is, as far as I can see, identical ??  Could be as you said John with the company adding my mark maybe. I have seen similar in Scandinavian glass searches. A style and shape that is done by a lot it seems.
