    1. antiquerose antiquerose, 8 years ago
      Now that is different....LOL

      I will try to signature here in a bit - see what comes up, if anything....??
    2. antiquerose antiquerose, 8 years ago
      I am trying here....looks something like :

      ~ Solomach ?
      ~ Salomache
      ~ Salamach

      Kinda looks that way to me....Did you see anything like the above that I think I see in the signature??
    3. Efesgirl Efesgirl, 8 years ago
      Made in 1994. That's all I got. No hits on the name no matter how I spelled it. :-((((
    4. vetraio50 vetraio50, 8 years ago
      Salameh was what I'd thought ... It is a difficult one.
    5. PhilDMorris PhilDMorris, 8 years ago
      Really love this, some people are so good at adding bits of clay to make stunning things like your vase. A friend in art class could make small animals with no problem at all ! Yours has the most beautiful small detail !~
    6. vetraio50 vetraio50, 8 years ago
      Many thanks ANTIQUEROSE, VIOLETORANGE & EFESGIRL too !!! !!!! ! !!!! !!!
    7. TassieDevil TassieDevil, 8 years ago
      It's interesting isn't it !!!!!
    8. vetraio50 vetraio50, 8 years ago
      It reminds me of the work of Pietro Melandri .... the 30's !!!!
    9. vetraio50 vetraio50, 8 years ago

      Fab piece. The clay and base have a bit of an Aussie look,but could be from anywhere.

    16. DecoVoo DecoVoo, 8 years ago
      Looks like Thai /Bali but who knows signature Salamander ? Just thought I would add my 2 cents...well these days its 1 cents worth
    17. melaniej melaniej, 8 years ago
      To my eyes signature looks to be " Solomon"
    18. ho2cultcha ho2cultcha, 8 years ago
      beautiful bust pot! looks like Solameh to me. Israeli? the piece looks Italian, but so does a lot of Israeli pottery.

      Thanks all of you for your help.
    20. mcheconi mcheconi, 8 years ago
      Very difficult to read, maybe a picture taken right from the front of the signature. I tried to invert the colors to make it more readable but I guess this angle makes the pic to miss some details.
    21. katherinescollections katherinescollections, 8 years ago
      I thought Salamander as well, and there is a Salamander Pottery, but appears to be a gallery.
    22. vetraio50 vetraio50, 8 years ago
      Many thanks MCHECONI, KATHERINESCOLLECTIONS & FORTAPACHE too !! !!! !! ! !! !!! !!
    23. vetraio50 vetraio50, 8 years ago
      HI MCHECONI .... I just changed the images. I hope that helps.
    24. mcheconi mcheconi, 8 years ago
      I will try again vetraio. Thanks!
    25. mcheconi mcheconi, 8 years ago
      No luck yet...it appears to read Salaamah (or ending with "l" or "s") or Salaanah (or Salaanal or Salaanas) but any of these returned any pertinent results on Google. Will keep trying.
    26. vetraio50 vetraio50, 8 years ago
      Thanks for your efforts again MCHECONI & to COURTENAYANTIQUES for the Love.

    30. antiquerose antiquerose, 8 years ago
      no clue here yet......but the hair reminds me of those Iceland pottery vases we had VET. You know.....the GLIT ( Iceland ) Ceramic Vases fat lava type....??

      maybe it is from their or influenced by those items....???
    31. vetraio50 vetraio50, 8 years ago
      Many thanks RICK & ANTIQUEROSE for your comments too !!! !!!! !!!

      The GLIT pieces have lava inclusions ROSE .... the hair is all constructed on this one and is less 'dangerous' !!!
