H, I saw this vase signed Gallé in a second hand store. It is pretty damaged at the top but still, I am curious to know if you think this is a real Gallé. The signature is not engraved. What do you think?

Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

I’d say more Romanian than French.

Thanks, I acutally was just told the same by someone else, it is a fake. :(

Can you see the word TIP on it?

The Romanian ones often (but not always) have the word "TIP" on them . This is Romanian for "Type" - some European importer insisted on this to cover them selves for any copyright etc etc..

So I guess those with TIP on are not technically forgeries as they are declaring they are copies... ?
