    Hi,

    I just recently acquired a yellow swirl vase with a pontil and a sticker on the bottom that says "Original Lutetian Glass" on a red sticker.

    Ebay similar items says this maker was Italian, but other sources say Japan. Any ideas on a definitive answer or resources?

    Thanks much!

    I see several of this mark on internet, but nobody seems to know the maker. one is also saying "Paris" beneath this crown mark.

    All very interesting, thank you! My gold/red "crown" sticker is identical to the one TallCakes posted - so Im gonna go with Japan. I dont see any residue from an additional country sticker but who knows. Its a small vase and fairly lightweight so it didnt strike me as Italian but Im no expert. Odds are it probably is a cheaper import piece from Japan. Most appreciated!
