Hi everyone, I post some photos of a vase I recently bought, it is signed "De Martüs" or "De Martiis".
Do anyone knows this signature? Where is it from?
Thanks a lot.

Hello Hugo. If you search Google for "De Martus" and Argentina you will find other examples of crystal & glass with the same signature, so I am of the opinion that these originate in Argentina. One mention I found stated:
"Italian glass Violetero manually performed by Martus, signed on the base. He retired in the neighborhood of Recoleta" so it maybe an Italian glassmaker working in Buenos Aires. Hope this helps?
