Title: signature ID request on vase - ID = Orrefors
Post by: cubby01 on March 23, 2015, 04:05:02 PM

More of a curiosity than anything.   I was surprised this little vase was signed at all as it look kinda like a mass production piece.

It's an acid etched mark.

hi, a nice piece. It does not look acid etched to me, more engraved with a diamond point engraving tool. "Of" seems to be on many Orrefors pieces, but usually with pattern numbers but this may or may not be helpful in this case. This should be resolved quite soon by someone........

Thank you Robert. You were correct on both counts. 

After examining the mark under a microscope I agree it is scribed with a tool

The signature is indeed Orrefors.  I found an exact piece online with the green shield sticker still attached as well as the signature.
