Topic: is this an Isle of Wight Glass Studio vase or another?

[MANDI]

This is a lovely bowl/vase.  I collect Isle of Wight Studio glass and this looks very much like the ribbon pattern.  It measures approximately 5" high and 3 1/2" across the rim.  Very heavy glass and irridescent - gold yellow with maroon purple ribbons.
clear base with a signature I can't read but looks like P. Ancey. or similar. Not Timothy Harris!
Which makes me wonder if it is another studio?
Hope someone knows.

Could the sig be Phoenician?

Would you please try rubbing a little talcum powder over the mark and then removing it with your thumb, so the powder sticks in the indents and shows the mark up better?

have put some talc on signature as suggested. See photo.
I don't think it reads Phoenician though

Could it read C. Lucas? - for Chris Lucas? He did train at IoWSG for a while - before setting up Alum Bay - but he's not there any more, I think he may be working on his own elsewhere?

That is great - have looked at the signature and it does look like C.Lucas which would make sense as it looks to be an Isle of Wight design.
Thanks

It looks more like a variation of an IoWSG design - the flange is wider than IoWSG and it's not a prescribed colourway. I would think it was made by Chris Lucas, but somewhere else other than IoWSG.
