I'd really like to be able to identify the maker of this vase which I bought recently in a shop in Neath, Wales.
I asked the seller who made it and she replied, "Oh, my buyer just goes all over Europe picking up interesting bits for me. He never knows exactly who made things, or where they came from! I think the chap who make this was in Russia or somewhere like that."
I was not pleased!
I thought, " I bet your buyer pays peanuts, too!"
So I would like to know if anyone can identify the maker, just to give credit to him / her as much as anything!
The vase is very solid and the metal round the middle squeezes it in like a waist.
I call it 'The angel vase' because it looks to me like an angel with wings spread, either supporting- or perhaps chained to - a rock. But then I always was fanciful :oops:
It is signed on the back and I have tried to get a pic of the signature, but apologies if it isn't very clear.
I have no idea if the "Russia" remark had any validity.
Anyway, The Vase ....
