thanks sean! any clues as to company/maker?
your very welcome glasslove!! I would need a much clearer pic of signature , its blurry !!! :)
ok thanks I will try to get one
thank you for the love cindib, aghcollect, and kivanitz!
Yes, a clearer photo is in order for sure. Love the vase regardless!
ok thanks share is this one any better?
Very nice!! No clue...looks something like Veturi or something like that to me ????
thank you antiquerose and patsea! yes I have no clue either
thank you nuts! very hard to make out
Possibly, what are you thinking?
Really ?? thanks so much now I can look it up.
well I have come to the conclusion that is def not freeman eye4 but thanks for your help. ;)!
??? Vetreria ?? for Operaia Lux ???
I do not know, just throwing it out there.....??
eye4- that link you sent me is the same exact bottom it looks like they can't read the signature on that one either. Thanks so much for your help I don't think I can get a better shot of the signature.
Vitriss?
Try the plain paper and pencil trick!
That's what it looks like to me share. I will try that. Thanks!
eye4 thank you for this lead! it looks like very similar glass especially the bottoms I just don't see the t as the last letter but I am still researching nourot as a possibility. His glass is very beautiful
ok this is driving me crazy lol !! I really appreciate your expertise!! I will look again at these two
Try rubbing some black ash (soot) over the letters -- then post us a pic.
IF need be, just take a small (3" x 3" ) piece of paper and light it in the Sink (where it is Safe) ...and after it has burnt -- then rub your fingers on the paper to get some soot on them, and rub your fingers over the lettering on the vase.
Worth a try.......But do not burn your place down to do this. Be SAFE first!!!
thanks arose :) I will try this tomorrow and post a new pic I have to get up early for work :( Have a good night!!
is that any better antiquerose and eye4? I used a charcoal pencil it looks the same to me
?Looks like VETRIA to me but still a ???
Try your little light thing by the blackened signature a bit....just to light it up a tad with the black in it.....maybe different ways to try to solve
I have done that lol I am done with it for now thanks for your help!!
5 inches high
lol!!
Can I play? I've seen that mark as Harrach, or looks like it.
Excuse me, I should have said the initial letter looks like Harrach. The word itself looks like Vitus to me, but there is no such glass artist as Vitus that I know.
Sure Katherine you can play!! I see it as that too - a undocumented artist?
Thanks eye4!! I shall check these out.
That is beautiful and expensive!
Thanks!! glad you are appreciating it!! I guess it was worth the 2.99 I paid for it. Lol!!
Did you check Harrach signature as I suggested? :)
I will Katherine I will have to get on my laptop in a bit my iPhone is not good for looking stuff up thank you and everyone else for sticking with me on this one!! I really appreciate it:)
yes Eye4- I love looking up my collectibles and then taking the knowledge learned and using it to find more treasures. I looked at the michael harris glass and there are similiar shapes but the finishes are not like mine- it is a very satiny smooth finish and frosted
Here's one site where I saw that Harrach mark, look down the page at Harrach, there's some examples all with the same V as your vase. There was another site I saw it as well, but can't remember where. Anyway, maybe, maybe not, but sure looks similar.

The way they finish their base also looks like yours, and they use numbers, FWIW.
oh yes I see it is a little similar. would be nice if it was that...:)
ok will do!!!
ok how is that?? lol
Well now it looks like Vitrexo! :)
haha!!!
Hi Eye4 I don't know if these are any better but the 4th one is the reflection of the signature on the 2nd layer of glass..
Cool I will look too
eye4... it does seem logical that it came from this studio, I live about two hours from it, and being signed on an angle maybe made some of the letters to come out like they did. And it is cased glass or layered glass.....
eye4 check this one out that I passed up at the thrift store yesterday I didn't see a signature on it maybe it was under the sticker I might go back and see if it is still there... I am stupid!!!

I know!! I have to go visit my 92 year old mama today she is in a nursing home about 50 miles away.. don't know if I can make it back to that store today boo hoo. I might try to fit it in!! But Mama comes first!!
Thank you for all your help!! You are Awesome!!
eek :(!!!!
Is that an *EEK* due to seeing Eye4beauty link with Value/Price/signature on the one found:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Small-Slate-Blue-Vase-Mid-Century-Hand-Blown-Vitrix-Hot-Glass-Studio-Art-1986-/161146973188
Is that a shocked EEK on Possible Value............or an EEK Scream of Joy?
LOL ~ I think mystery is solved....
Hi antiquerose!!! No the eek was for eye4's because he Passed on a vitrix signed Santa claus because he couldn't read the signature at the time. I hope my mystery is finally solved I will be fully convinced if I could find something with similar colors. Lol!! But yes I will mark it as solved!! Yay!
Great digging for the answer on this one!!
YAY for you... from me
right eye4 ;)
