Featured ID of signature on deep purple glass goblets

Can anyone please help to ID this signature on these two purple goblets? I’ve looked at it until my eyes go funny and can’t decipher it!
Thanks for any help

 

I think the last two character are a date. 97 or 07.

 

Could be. Wish makers of everything could make their signatures clearer!

 

Could it be written in Greek?

 

This got me thinking.
Could it be Xipre (Cyprus) and a year?

 

I dont understand why they signed it in such a prominent place ? I almost think this was someones way of marking it as theirs.

 

I think @Marote did similar to what I did on one, but the other looks slightly different...........they (the signatures) look like they were done with a dremel!
AND for sure, I can't read either!


​

 

Thanks @Aquitaine that top one is as clear as we are ever going to get!
I may have to accept defeat on identifying them. Maybe amateur made as they are a bit individual!

 

Thanks for trying, I appreciate it

 

Maybe the second one was done after putting the goblet to good use first.
We might be able to read it, if we do the same

 

I don't think Cypriot people are in the habit of signing in Catalan.
You never know though, it could be that one Catalan-Cypriot....

 

Hm. I wonder if it’s Maltese. Maybe ask on the Mdina Facebook group.

 

Tiffany & Co. do the same on the foot of their drinking glasses. Looks very cheap, even though I would have to ask the price.

 

Could be, Maltese uses a lot of Xs.

 

Sometimes Google is very helpful, but too often this is the help it provides:.

In the first bit, I read 'Xop', so I google for "Xop" glass goblet.
Google:
Did you mean: "Spy" glass goblet

Of course Google, you're absolutely right! How silly of me to put one letter in the wrong spot and type 2 incorrect letters in a 3-letter word ...

 

Google at its finest!
When it works it’s brilliant………

 

Weird place to put a signature. I wouldn't buy these, I consider them scratched.

 

I wonder if all of the last section is a date. Something like 17 ap 79 for 17 April 1979?
