Title: Help identify signed amethyst color Crystal Vase
Post by: BorisP on May 17, 2016, 09:26:30 PM

I got extremely lucky and was able to pickup at an estate liquidation this beautiful amethyst color crystal vase with hand etching.  The seller (not the buyer :)) knew anything about the piece or its providence.  The vase itself is very large (almost 2 feet) and heavy.

Only after few weeks of owning it, I discovered that the piece is signed and the more I look at the details the more I am impressed with its quality and fine detail.

Any help identifying this unique peace would be highly appreciated!

Thank you

P.S.
I will take better pictures with a professional camera and post tomorrow.

Hi BorisP, welcome to the GMB.

To photograph the signature, it could help to rub a little talc over it and then gently wipe off the excess. And maybe photograph each part (word?) of the signature so that lighting flare does not obscure the details.

KevinH, thank you for the suggestion.


I tried to use paper and pencil tracing on top but because of uneven surface it did not work well.  Talc power sounds like a good thing to try and do that tonight and post back my results.
