Art Deco vase glass Maker?Rare?

Wondering if this is rare silver overlay Not sure of signature It will cost me $100 +shipping from France to USA What do you think? Thank you for looking

 

Gorgeous vase , but Id be leery of spending that much unless you knew for sure who made it .

 

Is the signature of no help ? Thank you 4 replying

 

You might have to wait awhile for the right person to log on and see it. Or it could end up no one here has seen it before and knows that signature/mark.

I did try Google for Fgnus (that's what it looks like to me) and got nuthin'.

 

The 150 Euro price tag on it is a dead give a way....that it's not all that.....rare.

 

Thanks for the info do you think it is silver overlay? Did pick it up in France (no room in my bag) defiantly an original piece Think I'll have to get it Save £50 on price so should pay shipping Thank You again

 

Not REALY people make mistakes all the time That's what we look for Thanks 4 reply

 

I'm not sure what the metal is.
I'll leave that for more senior members here !!!

 

Are there letters on the rim above the signature ? Or are my eyes playing tricks on me . The grayish cast to the glass plus all the bubbles make me question the quality , but thats just what I can get from a photo . Ive tried every variation on that signature too , nothing so far .

 

I'm seeing Fanus, I don't know anything about Fanus.

Me too.
I googled looking for history of, who made and fanus art glass. Didn't get any response. Only general French glass makers and one stain glass artist.

This would make me leery as to the actual age. However it is a lovely piece.

 

I also searched Fanus and came up with more examples but none very similar to yours. All seemed to attribute this glass to 1930s France. None was terribly expensive. Odd that there is not more information.

 

Johnny......I don't think you're seeing anything there on the edge......but it almost looks like it.......



Plus close up of Siggy......



A GORGEOUS vase though!!!!

 

I'd buy it for $100 but not with hefty shipping costs. Nice lump: more Art Nouveau than Deco, so transitional. It's like many other contemporaneous French glassmakers, who channelled Rene a bit.
