Topic: Loeffelhart Florida Vase ? Unidentified mark.

[Jay]

I had already expected/identified it in my hands as Loffelhart 'Florida'...so was surprised to see an etch mark on the bottom that I don't recognise.
Has the upwards/downwards  bubble configuration, and seems to match the catalogue shape.
Another in my collection has a Hassen HG sticker and a 'cut and mitred' edge, but this one is left uncut with a thick rounded edge.
 
Can anyone identify this mark??
It certainly could be Lusao, Lucas? Is it a chinese copy??

[Lustrousstone]

Nice Jay. I doubt it's a Chinese copy. The mark is a glasshouse complete with cone, if that helps

[Jay]

Although my eye says it's a male figure drinking from a bottle..LOL!

It certainly reads to be 'lukas'.... but google A-Z and Hartmenn has no clue...

Do you get anywhere with luxas?

[Jay]

Can't find a 'luxas' either, but maybe I need to know (better) where to look. Google isn't doing it for me!

[chopin-liszt]

I did try it. It wouldn't obey me and I got cars.

Is the mark paint rather than an etched? A retailers mark perhaps?

Looking closely I think you could be right. On closest inspection it could very well be painted or painted !
Didn't know there were retailers who did that?! Any suggestions?

[glassobsessed]

There were importers who had their own labels added, occasionally we see the same for retailers too.

..I meant 'painted or printed...' of course ...

 
It is definitely a light print of white ink!
It WAS definitely a light print of white ink!
'cos when I kinda sort of rubbed it too hard, just because I was looking closely while inspecting it and then just like that... you know, I didn't really do anything much, and I just wet my finger ONCE!, and you didn't tell me to be careful so... it's completely disappeared!
