It's a love knot. If you do a Google image search you will find them made by lots of glassmakers in Murano but also in China and elsewhere.   I can't identify your signature though, sorry, but someone else may be able to help. :)

What a lovely colour this is.  Have you tried taking it into different light sources to see if it changes colour? 
I was wondering if it might be Neodymium glass.
This changes from the lavender colour in daylight or under incandescent light bulbs, to a cold ice blue when in fluorescent light or the new energy saving light bulbs.
Here are two pictures of what I am trying to describe.

The Z might be Zanetti, if that first charcter is an L then maybe Licio. No idea about the middle initial though.

I have several pieces by Licio Zanetti and his signatures are the same on all of them. I have never seen a signature by him that looks like that one. This is not the best photo,  but shows Licio's usual signature.
