This is a recent yardsale pruchase. Knowing nothing about etched glass, I googled and came up with Daum Nancy. I contacted an expert who said it is NOT Daum Nancy but that it was old (hence not a reproduction) Does anyone here have some idea of who the maker might be? Thanks
This is an example of why I go to yard sales every weekend possible. You just never know what you are going to find.
Looks post 1960-70s to me possibly even later. Lines are way to sharp on the patterning and the base does not look right - looks almost machined and the 'etched mark' looks like it was done with relatively modern engraving tool. The pontil - well it's not clear it has one and quality pieces would have a good polished one. As a commentator above said, you really need to provide further images and more 'clear' detail. But as I said, this does not appear to be of any significant age. I hope you paid a yard sale price for it.
I have seen this pattern before on Galle pieces and as it isn't signed, and a 'quality' piece would undoubtably be signed, it is not a fake, but a modern reproduction.
