Art Nouveau "Spittoon" Style Metal Vase-By STECHAN ??

I cannot find any information on "Stechan"...Any help appreciated.

 

Hi!
There's supposed to be something by STECHAN in this 'catalog' but I haven't looked.
Statement> "A collection of metal money boxes, ... A large brass art nouveau tapering vase with scrolled lug handles and ... Both have Stechan Edinburgh gallery labels to ..."

It is hard for me to see the stamp clearly, but what I see looks like STEGHAN. I will look for more information, to see if I can find a connection.

 

I thought that too but the 'tails' on the other letters seem the same.

 

I hesitated, too, but it looks like the serif on the top of the C/G is angled (or vertical), but the serif on the bottom of the C/G seems to be horizontal, isn't it?

 

Could it be Szechan?

 

Looks like a G to me too, seeing the same details pointed out by Morgen.

 

Look at the E next to it.

 

It looks even less like a G when I close in on its bottom.

 

when I close in on its bottom.....

Awww...that's just too easy !

 

Just had another thought. Might it be ST (something) as in Saint?

 

St Eghan ?

 

Ste Chan???
Ste Ghan???

 

Ah. Or Ste, which is the French abbreviation. Good thought.

 

Yes...it was and there YOU are.

 

Thanks you all for trying....But I believe it is "STECHAN"

 

Did that link not get you anywhere???

 

What a hoot! Googled Stechan and not only did I get these photos, I also got Bakersgma's avatar!!!

 

Thanks,King of Things...The link refers to Strachan,Edinburgh.

 

Odd...
