Title: Engraved signature on glass vase - "M. Tampolo" ??? 92
Post by: ak9000 on September 01, 2017, 05:59:50 AM
I'm trying to identify a vase... there's a signature, but it's hard to read and Googling all the variations I could think of, didn't work.

"M. T ? m polo 92" - see photos.

If anyone can give me ANY information on this, it would be much appreciated!

Hello and welcome.

I think that the last O is actually '@', so try searching for Tampol instead. A few results on google but not having heard of this artist before, I'm not sure that's correct either.

Ah, thank you! I haven't even considered that someone could be using the "at symbol"...

There's definitely an M. Tampol out there. Or "M. Tam Pol".

Still can't find any additional information, i.e. is this a designer that works for a glass house, or an independent artist, etc.

Weird that someone making glass art wouldn't have any searchable or social-media presence... oh well. #shrug

I think the @ is a ©, which makes more sense. A picture of the whole vase would be useful please
