    I think it's supposed to be a pomegranate or something similar. It's hand made and signed with what looks like a dremel. The first word is Pewter. The second is partially obscured by carpet circles someone glued on the bottom of the vase.

    I see "*ontie".
    I can't make out what the first letter is.

    I have a piece by this person that I think is great with the same signature. I finally found Leon Fontier as the artist. ( at least that's what I wrote on a note to myself).

    Yes Leon Fontier. I bought some of his work in the 1980s in NYC at the WBAI (radio station) Holiday Craft Fairs. I have one of his printed catalogs, 12 pages, dated 2/93.

    Is evelyb30's vase in your catalog? The Worthpoint link that matches this vase is described as 1993.

    Off to its new home a while ago too. For a decent if not great profit. :)
